DAZN Secures Exclusive Rights to 2025 FIFA Club World Cup
The deal includes worldwide free-to-view live streaming of all 63 Club World Cup matches, with the potential to sublicense rights to regional free-to-air linear broadcast networks.
DAZN has become the exclusive broadcaster of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, marking a significant milestone in its partnership with FIFA to expand its OTT sports streaming platform.
The deal includes worldwide free-to-view live streaming of all 63 Club World Cup matches, with the potential to sublicense rights to regional free-to-air linear broadcast networks. This move aligns with FIFA’s efforts to make the tournament accessible to as many fans as possible.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated:
“I am delighted to announce that FIFA, in partnership with DAZN and FIFA+, will bring the best of club football for free to everywhere in the world, meaning that every single football fan across the globe can watch the best players from the 32 best clubs compete in the new FIFA Club World Cup to be the first official ‘FIFA Club World Champions.’
“The new FIFA Club World Cup is a merit-based, inclusive tournament that will be the pinnacle of global club football, capturing the imagination of players and fans across the world. Through this broadcasting agreement, billions of football fans worldwide can now watch what will be the most widely accessible club football tournament ever – and FOR FREE. Football unites the world.”
By offering free-to-air access, FIFA hopes to attract a broad audience and foster a sustainable fanbase for the revamped competition. The agreement further positions DAZN as a major player in football broadcasting. In recent years, the London-based platform has secured international and domestic rights for high-profile leagues, including Italy’s Serie A, France’s Ligue 1, and England’s National Leagues.
DAZN CEO Shay Segev commented:
“This groundbreaking deal with FIFA is a major milestone in DAZN’s journey to be the ultimate entertainment platform of choice for sports fans everywhere.
“We’re delighted to have the exclusive rights to this new chapter in global club football, marking the start of our long-term relationship with FIFA and cementing our status as the home of football.
