The start of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup features a mighty David vs. Goliath narrative.

The United States is coming off two straight World Cup titles, and is the frontrunner to win it all again this year. Conversely, Vietnam is making its first-ever World Cup appearance after winning the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup.

It should be no surprise, then, that the United States is an overwhelming favorite in its opening match in group play against Vietnam. The American roster has several returnees from the 2019 title-winning squad, including captains Alex Morgan and Lindsey Horan, as well as stars such as Megan Rapinoe and Kelley O'Hara.

Here's everything you need to know to watch the United States take on Vietnam on TV or online.
