The BBC and ITV have agreed a deal with Fifa to broadcast the Women's World Cup in the UK, five weeks before the tournament begins on 20 July.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino had threatened a Europen TV blackout if rights offers were not improved.
But the deal with football's governing body will allow domestic viewers to watch matches when the tournament begins in Australia and New Zealand.
European champions England first play in Brisbane on 22 July against Haiti.
All 64 matches from the tournament will be broadcast in the UK on either the BBC or ITV, except for the final on 20 August, which will be shown across both BBC One and ITV1.
