Where to watch the Club World Cup?
The revolution is here: DAZN is streaming everything for free.
Yes, you read that right. No more paywall — just a free account is enough to watch all 63 matches live, with commentary in French or English. Smartphone, tablet, TV — it works on all devices. Replays will be available for 30 days.
Smart tip: If you’re traveling outside Canada, a reliable VPN (like NordVPN) will be your best ally. Just connect to a Canadian server, open DAZN, and you’re good to go. And steer clear of pirate sites — they offer poor quality, pose virus risks, and can lead to hefty fines in some countries.
