Watch the Kings World Cup Clubs for free on DAZN
The football never stops, even in the lull between the World Cup and the new domestic season, because the Kings World Cup Clubs are now in full swing and you can catch the whole tournament live on DAZN.
The seven-a-side competition is the brainchild of Spain legend Gerard Piqué and sees 16 teams from Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, Germany, France, and MENA compete over a week-long tournament in Milan.
The Kings League has reimagined football by combining traditional seven-a-side action with innovative rules such as secret weapons, game-changing cards and dramatic penalty shootouts.
Clubs are also backed by some massive names, with the likes of Neymar, Lamine Yamal and James Rodriguez as chairpersons of some of the teams.
DAZN News runs down the results from Round 1 of the tournament.

What is the format of the Kings World Cup Clubs 2026?
The Kings World Cup Clubs 2026 features a new 16-team format, reduced from 32 teams in previous editions.
Instead of beginning with a straight knockout bracket, every club is guaranteed more than one match thanks to an opening Swiss stage before the tournament moves into a traditional knockout phase.
Initial Stage
The tournament begins with three rounds:
- Round 1
- Round 2
- Last Chance
All 16 teams start in Round 1, with the draw ensuring clubs from the same domestic league cannot face each other in their opening match.
Teams that win their opening fixture move into the winners' path, while defeated sides drop into the losers' path.
In Round 2, clubs that improve to 2-0 qualify automatically for the quarter-finals. Teams that fall to 0-2 are eliminated from the competition.
The remaining sides then meet in the Last Chance round, where the winners claim the final four places in the knockout stage and the losers head home.
Knockout stage
The eight remaining clubs advance to a single-elimination knockout bracket consisting of:
- Quarter-finals
- Semi-finals
- Final
The four clubs that reached the quarter-finals with a perfect 2-0 record are rewarded by being drawn against teams that progressed through the Last Chance round, giving them an advantage for their strong start to the tournament.
The winner of the final on August 1 will be crowned Kings World Cup Clubs 2026 champion.
