The format for the 2025 Club World Cup follows the same format to a 32-team international World Cup. 32 teams will be drawn into eight groups of four teams in each. The top two teams from each group will make it through the last 16, while the bottom two teams in each group will be eliminated.

Bank of America Stadium is one of 12 host venues for the tournament, which begins on June 15. Tepper Sports & Entertainment and Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper led a special announcement at the stadium to celebrate the news on Tuesday. FIFA President Gianni Infantino was there as well.
