In years gone by, the FIFA Club World Cup has been something of an anomaly in the annual soccer calendar. A small, relatively low-key affair, it often felt more like a preseason warm-up or cool-down for the clubs involved, struggling to attract widespread interest from fans.
Not this year, though.
The 2025 edition marks a dramatic overhaul of the tournament. Instead of the usual seven teams, it now features 32 clubs from across the globe. That includes European giants like Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as Major League Soccer powerhouses such as Inter Miami and Los Angeles FC and South American giants like River Plate and Botafogo.
On top of that, the prize pool has skyrocketed to an eye-watering $1 billion.
With more at stake, a longer tournament, and greater global exposure, clubs are treating this iteration far more seriously. Many have already made early moves in the transfer market to bolster their squads ahead of the competition.
Taking place in the United States from June 14 to July 13, the revamped Club World Cup promises to be one of the highlights of the soccer year. But if you’re not able to make it to the U.S. to catch the action live, you're probably wondering: "Can I watch it at home?"
Yes, you can—and here’s how.

Alternatively, there's a standard monthly plan at $19.99 per month with a 12-month commitment. For more flexibility, DAZN also offers a cancel-anytime monthly subscription at $29.99 per month.
To expand access, DAZN has also sublicensed coverage to various local broadcasters around the world.
In the United Kingdom, Channel 5 will air 23 matches on free-to-air television, bringing the tournament to a wider audience. In the U.S., TNT Sports has picked up the rights to broadcast 24 games, ensuring strong coverage for American viewers.
