The final round of Matchday 1 group stage fixtures take place on Wednesday, and a couple of European behemoths are set to come to the fore.

While Portuguese teams have come unstuck against vibrant and physical South American opposition, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea started their Club World Cup campaigns without much fuss.

Manchester City, Real Madrid and Juventus are all in action on Wednesday, with the three UEFA representatives testing themselves against some of the best the Middle East and North Africa has to offer.

Here’s how you can tune into all of today’s Club World Cup fixtures.

Club World Cup Schedule: Wednesday, June 18

Manchester City endured a wretched 2024–25 season by their lofty standards, and they’ve quickly set about rebuilding their squad not only in time for 2025–26, but this summer’s tournament as well.

The likes of Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki and Rayan Aït-Nouri are all set to be in action when the Cityzens kick off Wednesday’s four-game slate against Moroccan outfit Wydad AC in Philadelphia.

City supporters will be excited to see several shiny new toys on display out in the United States, and Madridistas are similarly thrilled to be ushering in a new dawn with Xabi Alonso at the helm. Real Madrid’s squad also contains a couple of fresh faces, including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, but much of the intrigue surrounds Alonso and the translation of his ideas.

Madrid’s tournament bow comes against Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal, who aren’t shy of familiar names and are now led by former Inter manager Simone Inzaghi.

There’s some respite from the monoliths in Cincinnati as Mexican outfit Pachuca—beaten by Madrid in last year’s Intercontinental Cup final—take on the most understated UEFA representative at this summer’s tournament: RB Salzburg. The Austrians qualified via the ranking pathway having won ten domestic league titles in a row between 2014 and 2023.

Juventus’ status as a historic continental giant can’t be denied, but mismanagement at the very top has undermined their on-pitch work throughout the 2020s. The Bianconeri haven’t won a league title since 2020 and have struggled for Champions League relevance since they were beaten in the 2017 final.

Continued to be led by Igor Tudor after Thiago Motta was sacked earlier this year, they conclude Wednesday‘s action against Al Ain in the nation’s capital.
