The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is set to be the biggest football showdown of the summer, and for good reason. The tournament makes history as it expands to a huge 32 teams, offering a new format, record-breaking prize money and world-class football from every corner of the planet.
We will be showing some of the games live at The Bierkeller – including the final – so if you’re a passionate football fan or just there for the atmosphere, this is one summer of football you won’t want to miss.
When Is the FIFA Club World Cup 2025?
The tournament begins on 15th June 2025 and ends on 13th July 2025, hosted in the United States.
It is the beginning of a new and exciting era for the Club World Cup – moving on from being a low-key annual affair to one that mirrors the World Cup and is played every four years. This is the Champions League… except international!
FIFA Club World Cup New Format: World Cup Style, Bigger Than Ever
Gone are the days of a small, seven-club tournament. The 2025 edition features:
- 32 teams
- 8 groups of 4
- Each team plays three group-stage matches (single round-robin format)
- The top 2 in each group progress to the knockout rounds
- From there, it’s straight elimination all the way to the final
It’s essentially a mini World Cup, but with only club teams. More games, more drama, more opportunities for the little guy.

This isn’t just another tournament, the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is shaping up to deliver some unique matchups.

Or Trent Alexander-Arnold wearing the white of Madrid for the very first time.
It’s a rare moment where global icons from different continents clash at club level, not in friendlies, but for serious silverware. This is football history in the making, and you’ll want front-row seats.
