The beautiful game has a new global stage. FIFA has officially kicked off the expanded FIFA Club World Cup 2025, and for the first time ever, fans around the world can stream every match live for free. The tournament is available globally through DAZN, the international sports streaming platform. Whether you're watching Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami or perennial giants like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, or Manchester City, DAZN is the digital hub for the entire tournament—with a catch if you want the full high-end audio-visual experience.
With 32 elite football clubs from around the world and a month-long schedule spanning June 15 to July 13, this is a major test run ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. And thanks to DAZN's global deal, it's also one of the most accessible sporting events of the year.
A New Era for Club Football on a Global Stage
Traditionally overshadowed by its national-team counterpart, the Club World Cup is being reimagined by FIFA as a major international event, matching the scale and intensity of the World Cup. This year marks a pivotal moment as FIFA debuts a World Cup-style format featuring top clubs from six continents, hosted entirely in the United States across 12 stadiums in 11 cities including Atlanta, Miami Gardens, Seattle, and Pasadena.
Major participants include:
-
Europe: Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, Inter Milan, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund
-
North America: Inter Miami CF, LAFC
-
Asia, Africa, Oceania, South America: Al Ahly, Auckland City, and others
