The competition will gain the spotlight between 15 June and 13 July 2025, as 32 teams from across the world meet in the USA for the first competition of its kind. The World Cup is designed to bring the most successful club teams from the six international confederations AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC and UEFA together every four years.
The 32 participating teams are divided into eight groups of four teams each. There will be three matches for each team in the group stage, with the first and second in each group making the last 16. The knockout stage will see individual ties decide progression, before the world champions are crowned in a final.
The key to our qualification was our performances in the UEFA Champions League over the past four seasons. A total of 12 European teams qualified, with the last four Champions League winners making it while the remaining eight places were allocated according to UEFA club coefficients. A maximum of two teams per nation were allowed to qualify via that route.
All the matches of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will be broadcast for free on streaming service DAZN, for which you just need an account (with no subscription needed). DAZN also has the option of sublicensing rights to local free broadcasters, but there is not yet any information about that.
We will of course provide all the information about our matches on our usual channels, with details to follow.
From January to June, FIFA will tour the newly created Club World Cup trophy through the cities of the clubs represented and give fans the opportunity to see the biggest prize in international club football up close. We will inform you in good time when are where you can see the trophy in Salzburg.
