The national men’s football team of Bolivia, affectionately known as “La Verde” has qualified for the Women’s World Cup three times since 1930, but they haven’t been able to do so this century.
Bolivia did not make it to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup despite an overhauled administration of the national football federation and the national team; this is not surprising because of the notoriously difficult CONMEBOL qualifiers, in which 10 regional teams must play against the likes of Argentina and Brazil in order to secure a spot.
Regardless of whether Bolivia plays in the Cup or not, this is a football nation that always enjoys the tournament each time it plays, and Women’s World Cup is no exception. If you are in Bolivia during the Cup, you will be able to enjoy all matches on the following television and streaming options.

Women’s FIFA 2023 TV Channels in Bolivia
Since the 1970s, the Empresa Nacional de Televisión de Bolivia has secured broadcasting rights to all matches of the Cup, and this has not changed for World Cup FIFA 2023. The way it usually works is that Bolivia TV matches the broadcast license fees imposed by FIFA without negotiation of exclusive rights to specific matches; what this means for you in Bolivia is being able to view the Cup in its entirety on the following TV networks:
* Bolivia TV Canal 7
* Unitel Canal 2.1
* DIRECTV Sports
Canal 7 broadcasts for free on an analog over-the-air (OTA) basis, but there is also a digital signal for channel 7.1. On the days when group matches take place simultaneously, one will play on Canal 7 and the other on channel 7.1. This is a state-run television network with excellent programming.
Unitel broadcasts primarily on digital VHF channel 2.1, but you can also get a signal in some regions with analog VHF or UHF antennas. On days when two group stage matches play at the same time, Unitel broadcasts one on TV while giving viewers an option to stream the other match from its website.
DIRECTV Sports is a satellite TV channel that can be accessed in some regions of Bolivia, but it is not widely available at the national level because of topographical restrictions. It is more likely for Bolivian football fans to subscribe to DIRECTV Go in order to get streaming access instead of trying their luck with an antenna and receiver.

Enjoying Women’s 2023 World Cup in Bolivia
For many football fans who live outside of La Paz and Santa Cruz, TV broadcasts will be the best option to watch the Cup. The extremely rugged terrain of Bolivia makes it difficult to evenly deploy broadband internet across the country, which is why many regions do not get solid wireless signals.
