The FIFA Club World Cup will be streamed free to watch after DAZN agreed to allow fans to watch the revamped tournament without a subscription.
DAZN says fans of the clubs involved can sign up and watch the matches completely free with the streaming service.
The tournament, which begins with four games on 15 June, is available to watch free here and you can sign up now to access the deal.
The 2025 Club World Cup is the first time the tournament will feature an extended format with 32 teams across six confederations. It will be hosted in the USA this year with 31 out of 32 clubs confirmed for the tournament from across the world.
It means minnows Auckland City, winners of the Oceania Champions League, will take on Bayern Munich on the opening day of the tournament, while Chelsea and Manchester City will face up against Brazilian side Flamengo and Abu Dhabi side Al Ain respectively in their group stage games.
The tournament will feature a group stage, round of 16, quarter finals, semi finals and the final on 13 July.
The teams include 12 teams from Europe, six from South America, four from Asia, four from Africa, four from North, Central America and Caribbean, and one from Oceania. Champions League finalists PSG and Inter are involved, while Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami have also been invited to take part as a host nation team.
The prize money will be lucrative for the clubs taking part with the winners set to get $40m. FIFA has also opened a transfer window in June specifically so that clubs can buy players before the tournament. It will close again before the usual summer transfer window opens in July.
