How To Watch The Club World Cup 2025: TV Channels, Streaming & Schedule

For league football, the 2024/25 club season has now ended. That means two things. Players have jetted off for their holidays, and it is almost time for the FIFA Club World Cup.

A newly altered tournament, the competition will be taking place this summer, with 32 teams being divided into eight groups of four teams with the two top teams in each group qualifying for the knockout stages. The format will be the same as used in the FIFA World Cup, without a third-placed play-off.
