The 2025 edition of the FIFA Club World Cup is now officially underway, featuring football legends such as Lionel Messi, Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. If you want to watch along live for free in the UK and the US, it’s pretty easy to do so.
The tournament now has a new format, with 32 teams chosen from across the different international football confederations: Africa, Asia, Europe, North and Central America, Oceania and South America.
The European cohort includes Chelsea and Man City from the UK, with the former playing their first match against LAFC tonight, Monday 16 June 2025, with kick-off at 3pm local time, which is 8pm BST (UK time).
All you need to do is sign up for a DAZN account, but you don’t need to put in any payment details.
I’ve gone through the process to check it works, and here’s all you need to do:
- Head to the DAZN website
- Click ‘Get started’
- Input your email
- Add your name, a password and opt out/in of notifications
- Choose the free plan on the right
- Click ‘Skip’ on the top right of the next page
- Enter the code sent to your email
- Add your phone number
- Select your gender
- Choose the competitions you want to follow (FIFA World Club will be selected by default)
- Click ‘Maybe Later’ on the betting ad
- Click ‘Continue’, and you should now be able to stream matches live

Previous matches that have already aired are available to free subscribers, but only the highlights. However, you should be able to stream all 63 matches live for free and then watch them anywhere the DAZN app is available – so TVs, tablets, laptops, smartphones and more.
You’ll be able to watch these matches until the end of the tournament, which concludes on 13 July 2025. You can find the full tournament schedule on the FIFA website.
In addition, Disney+ also has a brilliant deal for under £2/$2 this summer.
