A new era of global soccer kicks off this summer as the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup descends upon the U.S. The tournament’s 21st edition runs from June 14 to July 13 in an expanded 32-team format. It’s an unprecedented gathering of storied clubs you won’t want to miss.
Beyond the new format, this year’s tournament boasts a groundbreaking broadcast deal. DAZN has acquired global rights and will stream all 63 games for free worldwide. For those preferring traditional TV, a significant portion of matches will also air on TNT Sports and TelevisaUnivision channels.

What channel shows the FIFA Club World Cup?
You can watch the entire 2025 FIFA Club World Cup on DAZN for free. All you need to do is sign up for a free DAZN account, and you can stream all 63 matches live and on demand through the DAZN app.
For U.S. viewers with cable or satellite TV, key matchups will still be available thanks to DAZN’s sublicensing agreements. TNT Sports has partnered with DAZN to broadcast 24 Club World Cup games across TNT, TBS, and truTV. Meanwhile, TelevisaUnivision will air 18 matches on its Spanish-language networks Univision, UniMás, and TUDN.
How the FIFA Club World Cup format works
With 32 teams descending upon 12 venues across the U.S., the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is quite the operation. Clubs from all six continental confederations will feature, their spots earned based on confederation strength and competition results from 2021 to 2024. As expected, UEFA leads with a whopping 12 participating teams, while the OFC has just one (all eyes on you, Auckland City).
Each country was generally limited to two participants, with the exception that all continental champions within the four-year qualification period were allowed to compete. That’s why you won’t see powerhouse clubs like Barcelona, Liverpool, Napoli, and RB Leipzig. As a Liverpool fan, I’m totally fine with the squad having the month off.

Now, about the actual competition: The 32 participating teams were sorted into eight groups of four. They’ll play each other once in a round-robin style, with the top two teams from each group moving to the knockout stage. Because every goal matters, games will utilize extra time and penalties to determine who progresses in case of a draw.
It’s going to be a grueling test of endurance, especially considering that not all clubs’ domestic schedules align. But that’s the price of a global spectacle, I suppose.
2025 FIFA Club World Cup TV schedule
As mentioned earlier, the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will take place from June 14 to July 13. The tournament kicks off just weeks after LAFC and Club América clashed in a May 31 play-in match. That last-minute game determined the final CWC spot after FIFA booted Club León due to shared ownership with fellow qualifier Pachuca. Ultimately, LAFC claimed the play-in victory, raising the tournament’s MLS club tally to three.
Below is the complete TV schedule for the Club World Cup knockout stage, including start times and U.S. channel listings for all remaining matches.

Best FIFA Club World Cup TV plans
After looking at the tournament schedule, it’s clear that DAZN is the best way to catch every FIFA Club World Cup match. It’s the only service streaming all 63 games live. But if you’re eyeing a long-term soccer TV plan, you’ll find broader coverage through cable, satellite, and live TV streaming services.
Below, I’ll walk you through how to watch the Club World Cup on DAZN and explain why a live TV service might be your best option for your year-round fútbol needs.
DAZN (Free)
Typically, I wouldn’t recommend DAZN for watching soccer. It’s expensive, and its content library is really thin if you don’t care about combat sports. But for the FIFA Club World Cup, it’s a completely different ball game, and you can’t say no to free.
To watch every single match of the tournament, you can avoid DAZN’s premium plans ($29.99/mo. or $224.99/yr.) and sign up for a free account. I did this, and the process was pretty straightforward.
To get started, head to DAZN.com/home and click “Sign up for free.” All you need to enter is an email address, name, and password. Once you verify your email, it might ask you to complete your profile by adding your phone number, gender, and age range. But I just skipped that stuff by closing my browser tab and opening the DAZN home page in another tab.
Once signed up, you can stream all the action live and on demand through the DAZN website and app. Fortunately, the app is available on several popular devices, including Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku.
Beyond the Club World Cup, your free account also unlocks marquee women’s football games and select boxing matches. After all, soccer and boxing are DAZN’s bread and butter.
Hulu + Live TV ($82.99–$95.99/mo.)
If you want a more robust TV plan, Hulu + Live TV is my top recommendation because it bundles all the essential channels for non-DAZN Club World Cup coverage. TNT, TBS, and truTV have all been mainstays on Hulu + Live TV, while TelevisaUnivision channels joined the service’s lineup on June 3, ensuring you get English- and Spanish-language commentary.
Hulu + Live TV’s appeal for soccer fans extends far beyond the Club World Cup. It also includes crucial sports channels that give you access to select Premier League, Serie A, and UEFA Champions League games. Best of all, subscribers get ESPN+ at no extra cost, making Hulu + Live TV one of the most attractive TV services for watching soccer because ESPN+ carries all Bundesliga and La Liga matches.

Beyond DAZN, you can catch select Club World Cup games through any TV provider that offers TNT Sports and TelevisaUnivision channels. I made a list of 14 popular cable, satellite, and live TV streaming services and their TNT Sports channel availability in the table below. Most of these services also carry Univision and TUDN, but you may need a specific Spanish-language plan or add-on.

How to watch the FIFA Club World Cup internationally
While DAZN holds global streaming rights to the entire FIFA Club World Cup, “global” doesn’t always mean everywhere. In some regions, DAZN isn’t available, so local broadcasters must step in to secure sublicensing deals with FIFA to provide coverage.
Even with DAZN’s wide reach, knowing your local viewing options is essential. That’s why I’ve outlined the non-DAZN broadcasters in 14 key countries below.
FIFA Club World Cup broadcasters by country
- Argentina (Telefe)
- Australia (Foxtel, Kayo Sports)
- Brazil (CazéTV, Grupo Globo)
- China (Migu, CCTV)
- Colombia (Win Sports)
- Egypt (MBC Masr)
- France (TF1)
- Germany (ProsiebenSat.1)
- Italy (Mediaset)
- South Africa (SuperSport)
- Spain (Mediaset)
- Turkey (TRT)
- United Kingdom (Channel 5)
- United States (TNT Sports, TelevisaUnivision)
How to watch the FIFA Club World Cup FAQ
Can I watch the FIFA Club World Cup on HBO Max?
No, Max subscribers can’t stream the 24 live FIFA Club World Cup games airing on TNT Sports channels like usual. That’s because all CWC games are streaming for free on DAZN.
Will the FIFA Club World Cup be on ViX?
No, ViX won’t stream any Club World Cup matches since they’re streaming free on DAZN. But ViX sister networks like Univision, UniMás, and TUDN will air select CWC games.
Is the FIFA Club World Cup on FIFA+?
No, the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will not stream live on FIFA+. While the free streaming service carried the 2023 edition, this year’s expanded tournament secured a new, exclusive broadcast deal with DAZN. Still, you can watch previous tournament highlights and films on FIFA+.
How can bars show the FIFA Club World Cup?
Bars, restaurants, and other commercial venues can order the FIFA Club World Cup through EverPass Media. Pricing and availability depend on your venue type and occupancy, but you can learn more by visiting EverPass.com.
