Team USA eyes fifth straight title against France in FIBA Women’s World Cup final

The FIBA Women’s World Cup final between Team USA and France is played on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. ET. This matchup is a rematch of the Paris Olympic final two years ago, when the United States won 67–66. The game airs on TNT, truTV and HBO Max.

As reported by Bleacher Report, Team USA aims to win its fifth straight World Cup title and extend its win streak to 72 games including the World Cup and the Olympics. The team reached the final after a 10-point win over Spain, with Breanna Stewart leading the way with 16 points and six rebounds.

France presents itself as the tournament’s second-strongest team: they have eight players currently on WNBA rosters and average 96.2 points per game, shooting 44.2% from three-point range. Their strengths include perimeter defense, the ability to attack the basket and plenty of shooting creativity, while interior coverage stands out as a challenge that could decide the outcome.

In a decisive matchup like this, Team USA’s composure and France’s shooting accuracy are expected to decide the winner, as Bleacher Report again emphasizes.
