New Zealand, who are jointly hosting the tournament with Australia, will get the World Cup 2023 underway at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand. The Football Ferns come into the competition following a string of disappointing results this year, including heavy defeats at the hands of the United States, Portugal and Nigeria. However, a 2-0 win over Vietnam in a warmup game earlier this month did show some sparks of quality with well-taken goals from CJ Bott and Jacqui Hand.
Norway’s recent form has also been fairly patchy, but the side can look at a win over the Netherlands and solid draws against England and France to give them comfort ahead of their tournament opener. Norway last won the Women’s World Cup in 1995, after having been runners-up in 1991. The Gresshoppene more recently reached the quarter-finals in 2019. They will hope to at least match that performance this year and will be among the favorites to advance from Group A.
The eyes of the soccer world will be on the Women’s World Cup 2023 for the next month, and you won’t want to miss this vital opening game. The New Zealand vs Norway live stream marks the start of a whole month of non-stop soccer action, and below we’ve got all the details you need to watch it online from anywhere.

How to watch New Zealand vs Norway anywhere
New Zealand vs Norway live streams will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.
Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.
Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling or another service and watch the game.
