2025 FIFA Club World Cup: Schedule, bracket, venues and results

The expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is underway in the United States, promising a month of thrilling international club soccer. Featuring 32 teams from across the globe, this tournament is set to be a landmark event for soccer fans nationwide.

Group stage matches are currently in progress, with teams vying for a coveted spot in the knockout rounds. Only the top two teams from each group will advance to the Round of 16, making every game a crucial battle for survival. This new format significantly increases the stakes, ensuring high-intensity competition from the opening whistle.

What sets this tournament apart is the unique dynamic of players representing their club teams rather than their countries. This often leads to exceptional teamwork and strategic play, as players are more accustomed to each other's styles and strengths, creating a different feel from the usual international contests.

The tournament's presence across the United States offers a fantastic opportunity for fans to experience world-class soccer firsthand. Games are being played in several major cities, bringing the excitement of the Club World Cup to a wide audience.
