If you, like so many of us, were swept up by the Matilda’s World Cup performance last year and have been craving another hit, you’re in luck. The Matildas will be taking the pitch at the Paris 2024 Olympics. On the off chance you’re not too hot on timezone maths, or the pARIS Olympics has crept up on you (as it has us) we’re here to help. 

When Is The Next Matildas game? 

The Matildas match will take place at the Paris 2024 Olympics, and they’ll be literally kicking things off on the day the Olympics begin: Friday, July 26th, 2024. 

The Paris Olympics are going to be tough for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere. The Matildas have been placed in Group B, facing Germany, Zambia, and the United States and our favourites, Mary Fowler, Katrina Gorry and Hayley Raso will be on the field… early Australian time.

When To Watch Matildas Vs. Germany

The Matildas’ first game will be against Germany on Friday, July 26th, at a brutal 3 a.m. Australian time in France’s Stade De Marseille.

Their second game will take place on Monday, July 29th, 2024, at 3 a.m. at the Stade De Nice. 

When To Watch Matildas vs. The United States 

Our final early morning match will see the Matilda’s face off against the United States on August 1st at… you guessed it, 3 a.m. at the Stade De Marseille. 

How long does a Matildas game go for? 

We anticipate you’ll be wide awake within the first few minutes of Matilda’s game, but if you’re wondering how long you’ll need to be chugging coffee, we’ve got the answers. Like any game of football, the Matildas Olympics match goes for 90 minutes with 45-minute halves. If there’s a tiebreaker, additional time and penalty shootouts 

Where to watch the Matildas at the Olympics

If you haven’t made the trip to France, you can watch the Matildas Olympics matches on Channel 9 OR 9Now. Stan Sport will also be providing ad-free Olympics coverage with a 24/7 Olympics News Chanel and eight international channels – you’re already up, so you may as well push on.

Is Sam Kerr Playing The Paris 2024 Olympics?

Unfortunately, crowd favourite and Matildas captain Sam Kerr won’t be playing the Paris 2024 Olympics thanks to a ACL injury during a Chelsea training camp session in Morocco back in January. As reported by theABC, goalkeeper Lydia Williams said: “We want Sam to be as fit and healthy as she can, and for her that’s taking her time with this injury. It’s a major injury.”

We’re sure Kerr will be tuning in with us from the sidelines.
