Canada enter the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup having won the most recent major world title on offer.
The Canadians stunned the women's soccer world when they won gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and now the North Americans look to use that experience to make a deep run at the WWC.
Canada have never advanced past the quarterfinals in a WWC, with their most successful tournament having come on home soil in 2015. They followed that up with a round of 16 appearance at France 2019, making it back-to-back World Cups in which they've moved on from the group stage.
Ranked seventh in the world, Canada are the favourites to top Group B although Australia may have something to say about that. The Matildas, No. 10 in the world rankings, will surely be boosted by co-hosting this year's tournament and will aim to grab first place.
Can the Canadians hold off the Aussies at the top of Group B?
Here are the fixtures that will define Canada's World Cup journey, along with kick-off times and how to watch.
