FIFA Club World Cup Games Now Streaming Onboard Thanks to Sport 24 and DAZN Deal
When you’re in the sky or out at sea, catching top sports events live has always been a challenge. But starting this year, there’s a major upgrade for those who don’t want to miss a single kick of the ball: Sport 24, the go-to channel for live sports on planes and cruises, has sealed an agreement with DAZN to broadcast the FIFA Club World Cup. This means anyone flying on partner airlines or sailing on cruise liners will have front-row seats to this international football spectacle.
This deal marks a first: The FIFA Club World Cup, the tournament that brings together the champion clubs from every continent, will stream aboard hundreds of flights and cruise routes worldwide. If you’re a die-hard football fan, this move is game-changing. No more landing and frantically avoiding spoilers—now you can watch every goal, save, and trophy celebration live, no matter where you are.
The Details Behind the Sport 24 and DAZN Collaboration
Sport 24 has built a reputation for delivering live coverage of headline sports events—think the Olympics, Premier League, Grand Slam tennis, F1 racing, and more. But the addition of the FIFA Club World Cup takes it up a notch. With DAZN’s rights covering the international distribution, the partnership lets Sport 24 beam this coveted tournament to a global audience travelling by air or sea.
The FIFA Club World Cup itself is a short, intense competition that pits seven teams—the reigning continental champions plus the host country’s champion—against each other to find out who really rules club football. It’s a whirlwind week of matches, with top teams from Europe, South America, and beyond. For many, it’s a rare shot to see how powerhouses from different football cultures face off.
This isn’t just big for travelers; airlines and ship operators benefit too. Offering premium live sports is a proven draw for customers. As airlines compete to improve passenger experiences, the chance to stream something as thrilling and relevant as the Club World Cup is a real selling point. Imagine an ultra-long-haul flight where, instead of watching reruns, you’re glued to live football that everyone on board is talking about.
Behind the scenes, this sort of deal involves complex licensing, technology integration, and tight scheduling to account for time zones and technical constraints. DAZN, already a digital streaming giant for combat sports, football, and more, handed over exclusive in-flight and at-sea rights to Sport 24. That’s a vote of confidence in Sport 24’s ability to deliver seamless, high-quality streams no matter where the audience is sitting.
As live content becomes king for audiences everywhere, this partnership is another clear sign: Sports fans expect—and now can get—world-class action, even 30,000 feet in the air or while sailing the ocean. The FIFA Club World Cup coming to Sport 24’s programming is a reminder that for today’s sports lover, missing a big game while travelling is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
