How to watch FIFA Club World Cup 2025

The highly anticipated 2025 edition of the FIFA Club World Cup is set to commence in the United States on June 14, marking the first major FIFA tournament hosted on American soil since the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

This year’s tournament introduces a new format, expanding to 32 teams and adopting a four-year cycle, aligning it with the structure of the FIFA World Cup.

Until 2023, the Club World Cup was held annually in December, featuring a limited number of six to eight teams—specifically, the winners of each continental club championship. With the 2025 edition, FIFA has transitioned the tournament into a larger, quadrennial competition designed to enhance global participation and visibility.
