France Women face off against Black Ferns in WXV Global Series Round 1 on Sat 12th September 2026 at Matmut Stadium de Gerland. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 16:45. In South Africa it’s at 17:45 SAST, 03:45 NZST in New Zealand, 01:45 AEST in Australia and 08:45 EST in the US.
Black Ferns won the last encounter but Black Ferns are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 2 places in the rankings with Black Ferns in position 2 and France Women in position 4, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for France Women vs Black Ferns will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
