Key Highlights
- Our #WAC2026 journey starts TODAY!
- 🔥⚽: #AUSvPHI⏰: 5:00pm AWST/8:00pm AEDT🏟: @OptusStadium 🎟️ Tickets: 📺💻📱: LIVE on 10, @10FootballAU & @ParamountPlusAU 📻: ABC Radio via the ABC Listen App… CommBank Matildas (@TheMatildas) February 28, 2026Australian anticipation, and expectation, is invariably high.
- After staging a run to the semi-finals of the 2023 Women’s World Cup on home soil it’s not unreasonable to suggest that the Matildas should be setting their sights higher against the comparatively lower-level of competition to be drawn from Asia – even if a showdown with presumptive tournament favourites Japan looms in the semi-finals. At the very least, it would take something of a catastrophe for them to fail to punch their tickets to the World Cup – even if, admittedly, that’s a fate that would have befallen them following their 2022 collapse had they not been co-hosting in 2023.
- And they’re expected to do the job tonight against a Filipinas side that, while chasing history of their own, suffered an 8-0 defeat to the Australians when they last met – coincidently in Perth – during qualifying for the Paris Olympics. We’ll have line-ups for you shortly, with kick-off set for 5pm local/8pm AEDT. In Australia or around the world, we have you covered on when to watch #AUSvPHI in our opening game of #WAC2026 🌍⏰📺💻📱: @10FootballAU & @ParamountPlusAU How to Watch: #HowWeWaltz #TilitsDone #AFCWomensAsianCup CommBank Matildas (@TheMatildas) March 1, 2026.
