How Does The FIFA Club World Cup Work?

Just like the World Cup, the Club edition of the competition will feature a group stage campaign, with each team playing their respective rivals on one occasion.

The top two teams will progress through to the knockout round, with group winners coming up against teams that finished second in the group stage.

From here, each knockout tie will be a one-legged affair, with the winners progressing through to the next round. The groups for the opening round can be found below.

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F	Group G	Group H
Palmeiras	PSG	Bayern Munich	Flamengo	River Plate	Fluminense	Man City	Real Madrid
Porto	Atletico Madrid	Auckland City	Chelsea	Urawa Red Diamonds	Borussia Dortmund	Wydad AC	Al-Hilal
Al Ahly	Botafogo	Boca Juniors	LAFC	Monterrey	Ulsan HD	Al Ain	Pachuca
Inter Miami	Seattle Sounders	Benfica	Esperance de Tunis	Inter Milan	Mamelodi Sundowns	Juventus	RB Salzburg

Event Preview

For the first time, the FIFA Club World Cup will be staged at the end of the European season in an expanded 32-team format. The competition hasn’t been immune from criticism, with some feeling that the expansion was unnecessary and could be damaging in terms of the increased workload of players.

But, for some, it is an exciting opportunity to watch some of the best club sides from across the planet. American interest will largely focus on Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, who could face a daunting prospect in Group A against FC Porto and Brazilian club Palmeiras.

From a betting perspective, it appears challenging to overlook the European clubs. This summer will present a first opportunity to watch Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid, with the club expected to field Trent Alexander-Arnold for the first time in the famous white shirt of Los Blancos.

However, they could be opposable if they win Group H, as a huge showdown with PSG could await in the quarterfinals. For the same reason, the recently crowned European champions may also be easy to overlook at the prices.

Man City endured a season to forget in 2024-25, but Pep Guardiola’s side will be back at full strength for this summer’s competition. If City win Group G, then they will find themselves on the relatively easier side of the draw, with only potential showdowns against Bayern Munich and Inter Milan standing between themselves and a final showdown with Real or PSG.
