Final schedule confirms thrilling set of group stage fixtures and qualification paths to the final

More eagerly awaited than the draw itself was the revelation in the draw of the eight groups that comprise the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, which further answered the question of world football fans on when and where to follow their clubs at FIFA's new global club showpiece being held in the United States from Saturday, 14 June to Sunday, 13 July 2025.

FIFA has published the schedule of dates and times to the 63 matches from which the groundbreaking tournament is to be played, and raised the curtain on the matches to be set in the future.

Thus, the first ticket sales window for all the 48 group stage matches opens on Thursday, 19 December 2024, at 10:00 local time (16:00 CET) exclusively at FIFA.com/tickets, where fans can also register their interest in the purchase of tickets.

Apart from that, the opening match is now known to be an independent fixture, where hosts Inter Miami will proudly commence the new FIFA Club World Cup™ with an against-their-namesake clash with Al Ahly FC, in hard-earned style on Saturday, 14 June 2025 at 21:00 local time at home 65,500-seater Hard Rock Stadium. 

MetLife Stadium in New York New Jersey also sees not only the lifting of the new FIFA Club World Cup trophy on Sunday, 13 July 2025, but also two semi-finals and one of the quarter-finals.

"The paths for the 32 teams have been plotted," 

said FIFA President Gianni Infantino,

"and everybody is also now aware at what time and where, among 12 top-class stadiums, they will enjoy the 48 exciting group stage clashes. Together with another 15 matches in the knockout stage, this match schedule sets 63 dates in the diary of every football fan--those living in the US, traveling from abroad to these beautiful cities to support their clubs, or following live."
