The Women’s World Cup is an event like any other. For an entire month, most of the world shuts down for the sake of football. Thirty-two countries battle it out at the sport’s highest level to see who will be crowned world champion. But what happens to all the other domestic leagues while the Women’s World Cup is going on? We’ve got you covered at GSN. Here’s a full breakdown of the domestic leagues and what will happen behind the scenes.

From September to May is when the European teams all play. There are no other sports to compete with for viewing; everyone who enjoys watching European soccer can watch without interruptions. These major leagues will all be done for the year, which means all the star players from Europe playing in the World Cup will get plenty of time to rest up.
