The United States emerged as champions, their fifth consecutive win at the SheBelieves Cup and seventh overall, beating second-place Canada in a seven-round penalty shootout after a 2–2 draw in regulation time.^[3] Brazil won the third-place game in a penalty shootout after a 1–1 draw, while Japan finished fourth.^[4]

Format

Due to the change in FIFA window and scheduling of the CONCACAF W Gold Cup, the format for this tournament format was different from previous years. The four invited teams played in a four-game format that consisted of two semi-finals followed by a third-place game and a final.^[1][5] Each game lasted the usual 90 minutes, followed immediately by a penalty shoot-out in the case of a tie.^[3][4][6]

Venues

The USSF installed grass at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which hosted the semi-finals and will also be used for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.^[1] The third-place match and final took place at Lower.com Field.^[7]
