Some of the biggest teams from the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A are among those in the USA for the new-and-improved FIFA Club World Cup, including Man City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG.
The Premier League may be over for the summer, but there’s something new on the way to help plug the football gap until next season. On Saturday (June 14), the revamped FIFA Club World Cup will kick off in the USA, pitting the world’s best club sides against one another in a month-long tournament.
It marks the first Club World Cup in its new and expanded format, with the competition now featuring 32 of the world’s best clubs from the six continental confederations. There are teams from the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A, and MLS, to name a few. There will be a total of 63 fixtures from June 14 through to the final on July 13.
Flying the flag for the Brits are Manchester City and Chelsea, alongside European titans like Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich. But what sets the competition apart from the UEFA Champions League is that these teams will also compete against many more from around the globe, with the likes of Inter Miami, Al-Hilal, Boca Juniors and Auckland City all taking part.

The Club World Cup is being hosted by 12 US stadiums including New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium and Los Angeles’ iconic Rose Bowl Stadium.
