The launch of a new 32-team format sets the tone for a World Cup-style experience – a one-of-a-kind atmosphere where star clashes will lead to unforgettable results and frame-worthy goals.

With just nine days to go until June and early July are painted with the passion of the Club World Cup, speculation is already sweeping across the globe.And amid all this expectation, one bold claim stands out: the 2025 Club World Cup will dominate global attention.

When is the 2025 Club World Cup?

From June 14 to July 13, cameras won’t miss a second of the action in the United States, where Inter Miami, Los Angeles FC and the Seattle Sounders will serve as hosts.

Some channels will broadcast in Spanish, others in English, while DAZN will complement the coverage with a new approach – creators will take center stage, delivering highlights and high-quality content from an English-speaking perspective, but with guaranteed translations.

“A hundred influencers and popular social media creators with a combined following of over 32 million – from countries like the United States, England, Belgium, Spain, Ireland, Libya, France, Venezuela, Italy, Norway, Brazil, and Portugal – will bring a rich mix of perspectives and cultural energy to the tournament,” said DAZN CEO Pete Oliver.

The confidence in the sports entertainment giant’s infrastructure is such that Oliver is promising smooth, high-quality streams for every match. Beyond that, he sees this as a chance for cultural expansion, drawing in thousands of new users to download the app and carry the matches in their pocket – wherever they go.

From the “mini World Cup” to the 2026 World CupDAZN already broadcasts 90,000 events a year for free, without requiring a subscription – a standout feature for the platform.

Still, for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, Pete Oliver is aiming for something more ambitious – a special experience for football fans.

There’ll be a Fan Zone to encourage viewer interaction and highlight their comments, but the headline innovation is the referee cam, a DAZN first that will offer up-close coverage of the officials.

The goal is to reshape how matches are perceived and to deepen audience engagement, making this edition a premium event – and placing the spotlight firmly on the United States.
