TNT Sports will broadcast 24 matches from this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup – including group and knockout stage games, plus the final on July 13 – on its cable networks TNT, TBS and truTV.

TNT reached an agreement with DAZN, which holds the global rights to the tournament and will broadcast all 63 games on its streaming service. As part of the partnership, TNT will also produce English-language studio programming, “as well as ancillary programming throughout the tournament.” That includes content on Bleacher Report, House of Highlights and B/R Football social platforms.

For the group-stage matches, it’s expected that TNT Sports will target brands most familiar to a U.S. audience, including Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and many of the top European teams, such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. The 32-team tournament also includes top South American clubs like Boca Juniors, River Plate, Flamengo and Palmeiras, as well as clubs from Asia, Africa and North America. Miami and the Seattle Sounders will represent MLS in the competition.

“Partnering with DAZN to present the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 further bolsters our sports portfolio this summer and brings another world-class event to our TNT Sports portfolio,” TNT chairman and CEO Luis Silberwasser said in a statement. “We’re looking forward to this new partnership with DAZN as we collectively deliver this exciting new global soccer club competition in the U.S. this summer.”

Warner Bros. Discovery currently holds domestic rights for U.S. Soccer, including the men’s and women’s senior national teams.

FIFA last year reached an agreement worth around $1 billion to make all 63 matches available on DAZN’s platform to watch for free. FIFA initially struggled to sell the broadcasting rights to the Club World Cup, with Gianni Infantino, the football world governing body’s president, calling an emergency briefing with TV executives in September 2024.

The tournament will begin on June 14 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, with Messi and company taking on Egyptian club Al-Ahly, and it will be played in 12 venues across the U.S. before culminating in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 13.

“The combined expertise of DAZN and TNT Sports will deliver what FIFA and fans want – a tournament for generations to remember,” DAZN group CEO Shay Segev said in a statement. “With our new partners at Warner Brothers. Discovery, DAZN will enhance and expand production, marketing and ad sales for the tournament, to maximize engagement and reach and ensure that fans receive the very best viewing experience.”

TNT will announce further production details and schedules at a later date.
