In this work, we analyse the evolution of time-dependent traversable wormhole geometries in a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker background in the context of the scalar–tensor representation of hybrid metric-Palatini gravity. We deduce the energy–momentum profile of the matter threading the wormhole spacetime in terms of the background quantities, the scalar field, the scale factor and the shape function, and find specific wormhole solutions by considering a barotropic equation of state for the background matter. We find that particular cases satisfy the null and weak energy conditions for all times. In addition to the barotropic equation of state, we also explore a specific evolving wormhole spacetime, by imposing a traceless energy–momentum tensor for the matter threading the wormhole and find that this geometry also satisfies the null and weak energy conditions at all times.
