PARIS, France — As world football braces for a new showdown, TF1 has officially partnered with DAZN to broadcast two crucial matches of the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup. The agreement comes as excitement builds ahead of the tournament, scheduled to kick off from June 15 to July 13, 2025.
The FIFA Club World Cup aims to showcase 32 of the world’s most elite football clubs, yet it faces skepticism from fans after a long and exhausting football season. Observers have noted the challenge in engaging die-hard supporters to tune in, especially during the summer months when many will likely be on holiday or attending various events.
Despite the participation of powerhouse clubs, including the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Atlético Madrid, the tournament has stirred mixed feelings among fans who are already accustomed to an extensive Champions League season. DAZN, the exclusive global broadcaster, is providing free access to all 63 matches worldwide, ensuring extensive visibility for the tournament.
In France, TF1 announced its significant role in the event, having secured a sublicense deal with DAZN to air two high-stakes matches. The first match will feature PSB against Atlético Madrid on Sunday, June 15, while the final will take place on Sunday, July 13.
“The partnership with DAZN is a testament to our commitment at TF1 to present the biggest competitions to our viewers,” the network shared in a recent statement. “We are excited to provide French fans with free access to these two monumental games,” the statement continued. This broadcast is particularly strategic for TF1, which is looking to mitigate the impact of losing the rights to the 2026 World Cup, which will be aired on M6.
As anticipation builds, football enthusiasts eagerly await the opportunity to witness an unprecedented tournament format that promises to include clubs from across five continents. The summer of 2025 is poised to be historic for club football, and both TF1 and DAZN are ready to deliver.
