Meet the new-and-improved FIFA Club World Cup; after a one-year hiatus this global club championship is back, with some big rule changes coming into play when it returns on Saturday, June 14.
The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will see 32 of the best club teams from around the world travel to the USA in order to compete for top spot and it’ll run for a month up until the final on Sunday, July 13.
The past FIFA Club World Cups have only seen single-digit numbers of teams, and the massive expansion to 32 will blow the tournament wide open. More importantly, it allows various confederations to send multiple teams which opens the door for upsets; you can find a full team list below.
Manchester City is the returning champion after its victory in 2023, but Real Madrid remains the dominant force with 5 victories since the tournament began in 2000. However the sheer number of rival teams in the 2025 iteration will give either team a run for its money. It’ll also bring match-ups that we rarely see, between club teams from opposite sides of the globe.
It’ll be a big summer event to watch for footie / soccer fans, and people will be tuning in from around the world to see the matches. So here’s how to watch the FIFA Club World Cup for 2025, with broadcast options first and then fixtures and teams details below.
How to watch the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 in the US
Rights to broadcast the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 in the US come from two broadcasters: DAZN and Warner Bros.
Let’s start with DAZN, the popular sports streaming service, because this option is totally free. Each of the 63 matches in the Club World Cup can be watched via the streamer’s Freemium tier, which requires you to make an account but won’t cost you a penny.
Outside of DAZN, 24 of the matches will air on various TV channels owned by Warner Bros. Discovery: primarily TNT but also TBS and truTV.
These channels are included in different combinations by various cable providers but if you’ve cut the cord, you can use our list of the best live TV streaming services to find an alternative.
How to watch the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 in the UK
In a nice turn of events, the FIFA Club World Cup is going to be totally free to watch even though it’s being broadcast in multiple places.
The most encompassing option is via DAZN, which will offer live streams of every single match of the event.
While DAZN is normally a paid service, that’s not the case for this event. All matches will air on its Freemium tier which, as the name suggests, is free. You just need to create an account and you’re good to go.
Your other option is Channel 5 which is going to show 23 of the 63 matches: a smattering from each stage including two quarter-finals, one semi-final and the final itself.
This will be on both the TV channel and online on its streaming service, also called Channel 5.
How to watch the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 in Australia
Unfortunately not a single Australian football club managed to find its way into the FIFA Club World Cup, with the single Oceania Football Conference slot going to Auckland City. But maybe you still want to support the Kiwis.
You’ll be able to do so in three ways: DAZN, Foxtel or Kayo Sports. All will host live streams of every match.
First up: DAZN is your free option as the sports streaming service has pledged to offer every match of the Club World Cup on its Freemium tier. This is free to stream from though you’ll need to make an account.
Foxtel is your TV option, but you can’t get any of its packages for the FIFA Club World Cup. You’ll need to be on one that includes sports coverage which is Sport, Sport + Movies or Platinum Plus.
Then there’s Kayo Sports, one of the go-to Aussie sports streaming services. This costs $25 per month so it’s your cheaper option, though it won’t have the full list of channels beyond sports.
