Sixteen teams are scheduled to compete in the women's football tournament at the 2028 Summer Olympics. Fifteen women's national teams from six confederations will qualify to join the United States, who qualified as the host nation.
In April 2025, the IOC Executive Board approved FIFA's suggestion that the women's tournament be expanded to 16 teams. In December 2025, the FIFA Council approved the final allocation of berths, although CONMEBOL had already completed qualification.

As of March 2026, only CAF and OFC had not announced their qualification processes.
The eight quarterfinalists in the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup will play a tournament to select the two AFC teams for the Olympics, plus a third team to enter a play-off against a CONMEBOL team for an additional place. In the tournament, the teams will be divided into two groups of four that will each play a home-and-away double round-robin, with the two group winners to go to the Olympics.
The top three teams of the 2026 CONCACAF W Championship tournament â the two finalists plus the winner of the third-place match â will qualify for the Olympics. (This follows a revision on 17 December 2025 of FIFA's earlier allocation of Olympic slots.) In addition the United States, as the Olympic host, is automatically qualified, so that four CONCACAF teams will qualify in all. Should the US finish as one of the top four teams in the tournament â i.e., reach the semifinals â then all four tournament semifinalists will qualify for the Olympics.
CONMEBOL has two Olympic slots, plus one team will enter a play-off against an AFC team for an additional place. To date the two finalists of the 2025 Copa América Femenina, Colombia and Brazil, have earned Olympic qualification, with Argentina to play in the play-off.
On 17 December 2025, UEFA was allocated four slots for the 2028 Olympics. The Olympic qualifiers will be the four semifinalists of the 2027 UEFA Nations League.
One team from AFC and Argentina, as third-place team in the 2025 Copa América Femenina, will meet to determine the final Olympic qualifier. As of February 2026, no further details have been provided.
