USA Women's World Cup betting odds 2023: USWNT chances to win record third straight FIFA title

The U.S. women's national team is ready to take on history as it embarks on a trip across the globe for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

As two-time defending Women's World Cup champions, the USWNT will seek to become the first team in history — men or women — to win three straight FIFA titles.

The Women's World Cup will begin on July 20, with the United States set to open their tournament two days later against Vietnam. They will then take on two European nations in the Netherlands and Portugal to close out group stage play, looking to keep their streak alive, having made the knockout stage in every single Women's World Cup so far.

With manager Vlatko Andonovski at the helm, and the leadership of Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe on the squad, this U.S. team will push for an historic accomplishment.

While the United States are considered the favorites to win the tournament, as two-time defending champions and the world's top-ranked nation, there's plenty of competition.

The oddsmakers have England, Spain, and Germany as the three countries most likely to push the United States for the title, while joint-hosts Australia are given a clear bump on home turf.

Interestingly, defending Olympic champions Canada are not thought to be a top contender. They are further back as 11th-favorites by most bookmakers, despite sitting seventh in the FIFA world rankings.

USA are favorites to win 2023 Women's World Cup

It makes perfect sense that, as FIFA's No. 1-ranked team in the world, the United States women would be favorites to win the 2023 Women's World Cup.

However, it clearly won't be easy. The U.S. have suffered a number of injuries, seeing top attacking players like Mallory Swanson, Catarina Macario, and Christen Press on the sidelines, plus captain Becky Sauerbrunn.

Second-favorites England are also sporting a squad beset by injuries. Beth Mead and Fran Kirby were both left off their squad, while Ellen White retired following their triumph at the most recent European Championships in 2022.
