Women’s Soccer at the Olympics: How to watch, schedule, start time

The Women’s Olympic soccer tournament is stacked in Tokyo and it should be one heck of a tournament.

And we will have you covered throughout the tournament.

The United States women’s national team have won the last two World Cups, but their 2016 Olympics was a rare failure as the team failed to medal for the first time in six tournaments.
