CazeTV has acquired broadcasting rights for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in Brazil via a sublicensing deal with DAZN. The platform will air at least 39 matches, including Brazilian team games, live on YouTube and various streaming services. This move enhances CazeTV’s partnership with FIFA, following its rights to major soccer events. The tournament kicks off on June 14, 2025.
CazeTV, the Brazilian sports streaming service created by LiveMode and streamer Casimiro Miguel, has secured the rights to broadcast the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) via a sublicensing agreement with DAZN. Announced through CazeTV’s social media, this deal will allow CazeTV to stream at least 39 of the 63 live matches, including those featuring Brazilian teams, as well as the semi-finals and finals.
The CWC matches will be available live on CazeTV’s YouTube channels along with integration on streaming platforms such as Samsung TV Plus, Mercado Play, and Amazon Prime Video in Brazil. A total of four Brazilian teams—Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Palmeiras—are expected to compete in this prestigious tournament.
Additionally, CazeTV aims to provide comprehensive coverage of the CWC on its social media platforms, supported by teams in Brazil and the United States. These teams will produce engaging behind-the-scenes content and highlight reels for fans.
Fabio Medeiros, head of content at CazeTV, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that the inclusion of this tournament perfectly aligns with CazeTV’s goal of delivering premier sporting events in a manner that resonates with its audience.
This agreement reflects CazeTV’s strengthening partnership with FIFA, having previously secured rights to major tournaments such as the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the 2023 Women’s World Cup, youth tournaments, and various other World Cup events. CazeTV will also broadcast the 2025 UEFA Women’s European Championship.
The sublicensing arrangement follows DAZN’s acquisition of exclusive global rights to the CWC last December, valued at approximately $1 billion. DAZN plans to offer all 63 matches free, while pursuing sublicensing agreements in various key markets to recuperate its investment.
DAZN has already reached sublicensing agreements in regions including Italy, Spain, the United States, and Egypt, further enhancing its distribution reach. Shay Segev, the chief executive of DAZN, expressed excitement about engaging Brazilian fans with the tournament while delivering an unparalleled viewer experience.
Prior to DAZN’s involvement, FIFA faced challenges in finding a broadcast partner due to opposition from major media companies regarding the contentious nature of the event, which many stakeholders in soccer have criticized. The CWC is set to commence on June 14 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, featuring 32 top clubs and 63 matches across 29 days.
The redesigned CWC will introduce a format allowing multiple teams from continental governing bodies, excluding the Oceania Football Confederation. Conmebol, representing South America, will contribute six teams, including four from Brazil and two from Argentina. UEFA will have the most representation with 12 teams participating.
In summary, CazeTV has entered into a significant sublicensing agreement with DAZN for broadcasting the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in Brazil, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the tournament. This partnership reflects CazeTV’s ongoing collaboration with FIFA, enhancing its reputation in sporting broadcasts. With the addition of several prestigious clubs participating in the tournament, the CWC is positioned to deliver exciting matchups and engaging content for soccer fans in Brazil and beyond.
