The Club World Cup is set to take place in 12 stadiums across the USA, including New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium and the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, reports the Mirror.

Here, we’ve detailed how to watch every match for free and exactly when the action begins.
How to watch the Club World Cup for free
Fans are able to stream the action if they sign up with DAZN Freemium. There’s also the option to upgrade to DAZN’s ad-free subscription tier from £14.99, which delivers the action with HDR picture quality and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.
DAZN can be viewed anywhere using the DAZN App on smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, game consoles, streaming devices, and any device with a web browser. For those who don’t want to sign up for another subscription, DAZN has also sublicensed select fixtures to Channel 5, meaning 23 games will be broadcast on both DAZN and 5. This may be a good option for less tech-savvy football fans who are not bothered about every game.
Anyone wanting an alternative paid subscription could consider Sky Sports, which can be purchased for £35 a month for a 24-month contract alongside essential Sky TV. This includes nine dedicated channels, including the Premier League, Football, Cricket, Golf, F1, Boxing, NFL, NBA, Netball and much more, though the length of contract may be a downside for some.
