Schedule & Results
Both semifinals will start at noon local time. On Field 1, softball superpowers USA and Japan renew their storied rivalry. The two nations have met in the final of every Women’s Softball World Cup since 2002 (nine straight), the last two Olympic finals (Beijing 2008 and Tokyo 2020), and the title game at The World Games 2022. In Chengdu, one will leave with bronze ambitions instead of gold. Across these championship clashes, USA holds seven wins to Japan’s five.
On Field 2, Canada faces Chinese Taipei, each seeking a second-ever appearance in the final of a major tournament. Canada last played for gold at the 1978 World Cup in El Salvador, while Chinese Taipei reached the final as hosts in 1982.
Saturday also brings the battle for fifth place. At 9 a.m., China takes on Australia and Puerto Rico meets Netherlands. Winners advance to the fifth-place game at 3 p.m., while the defeated teams will fight for seventh.

Only the game between USA and Japan will be live streamed today.
