Group F at the FIFA Club World Cup gets underway in New Jersey today with a compelling clash between Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund and Fluminense.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch every match of the tournament as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn’t available where you are, along with a full fixture list.
Dortmund qualified for the tournament as last season’s UEFA Champions League runners-up. While this marks their first appearance in the modern Club World Cup, the German outfit did win its predecessor, the Intercontinental Cup, back in 1997.
Fluminense, on the other hand, secured their spot by winning the 2023 Copa Libertadores. Though not widely regarded as one of the strongest of the South American teams in this year’s tournament, Renato Gaúcho’s squad features seasoned veterans such as former Chelsea defender Thiago Silva and experienced goalkeeper Fábio, both of whom bring valuable big-match pedigree.
Fluminense take on Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, June 17, at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. ET or 9 a.m. PT. That makes it a 5 p.m. BST start in the UK and an 2 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Wednesday.
Jobe Bellingham, younger brother of England and Real Madrid midfield star Jude, could make his first appearance for Dortmund today, following his $38million transfer from Sunderland.

How to watch Fluminense vs. Borussia Dortmund online from anywhere using a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the FIFA Club World Cup soccer action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.

Quick tips for streaming FIFA Club World Cup 2025 soccer using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming soccer may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, because both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
