Overview

  • The tournament has reached the knockout stage, with quarterfinal matchups set after a two-hour thunderstorm delay in Charlotte.
  • Extreme heat has disrupted games and prompted researchers to urge kickoff times be shifted to cooler hours.
  • DAZN now streams all 63 fixtures for free worldwide, and ProSiebenSat.1 broadcasts German-team matches on Sat.1, Joyn and ran.de.
  • FIFA will open a formal host selection process for the 2029 Club World Cup, with Qatar lobbying for a winter schedule alongside bids from Brazil, Spain and Morocco.
  • Extensive travel distances between U.S. venues have strained logistics and contributed to low attendance at several group-stage matches.
