Five continents. Four matches, Two groups. Friday serves up another tantalizing series of 2025 Club World Cup duels.

There are no AFC representatives taking to the field but all other continental federations have participants involved in another bout of drama.
Here is how to tune into the Club World Cup action on Friday across the globe.

Friday’s opening fixture is unlikely to set pulses racing but does offer the distinct possibility of goals galore. The competition’s underdogs Auckland City was thrashed 10–0 in their tournament opener and they will be aiming to restore some pride against Benfica this time. Defeat feels inevitable but Auckland is eager to keep the score down against the Portuguese side, who are desperate for victory after a draw on Matchday 1.
Bayern Munich was the side that inflicted such misery on Auckland City and will be keen to do the same to Boca Juniors. The scoreline will be nowhere near as emphatic but they will be significant favorites against the Argentine side, who could still be reeling from surrendering a two-goal lead against Benfica last time out. The day’s late fixture promises to entertain regardless of the outcome.
Chelsea were hopeful of starting the Club World Cup campaign how the 2024–25 season ended and did begin with victory—even if it wasn’t entirely convincing. They have to improve to get all three points on Friday, with Brazilian behemoth Flamengo the opponent in Philadelphia. They also won their opener and will be aiming to upset the odds with the help of coach Filipe Luís, formerly of Chelsea.
Both 2–0 losers on Matchday 1, Friday’s battle is pivotal for Los Angeles FC and Espérance de Tunis. A draw or defeat could prove fatal given the caliber of the Group D opponents, potentially making for a cagey affair, but it will be LAFC who has the advantage of playing in familiar surroundings.
