FIFA Club World Cup Betting: Odds, Top Sportsbooks & Betting Guide

The FIFA Club World Cup pits the top men's soccer clubs from across the globe against each other. The tournament was previously held annually, but a new format will feature an expanded pool of teams and be held once every four years.

The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 odds are here as 31 of the 32 teams have been announced for the tournament. Manchester City is looking to win their second championship and become the second club to win consecutive titles. They are co favorites with Real Madrid, who holds the tournament record with five titles.

Madrid is the only team in tournament history to three-peat, winning five of the past 10 tournaments. Here are the top 10 FIFA Club World Cup winner odds provided by Bet365 sportsbook.

Here are some basic facts you should know before Betting on the FIFA Club World Cup.

The FIFA Club World Cup first took place in Brazil in 2000. The tournament was not held for four years from 2001-2004 but came back in 2005 and was held annually until 2023. 2024 was the first time in 20 years that the tournament was not held, as qualifiers were taking place for a new format that will begin in 2025.

The inaugural tournament split eight teams into two groups, and the winner of each group would play in the finals. Starting in 2005 after the four-year hiatus, only six teams competed in a single elimination three round tournament (Quarters, Semis, and Finals). In 2007 an additional round was added, allowing the host team to compete for the final spot in the Quarterfinals.

To qualify for the tournament, clubs needed to win their Continental Championship. This included the OFC, AFC, CONCACAF, CAF, and UEFA Champions Leagues, as well as CONMEBOL. The host team would lead off the tournament with the Playoff Round against the winner of the OFC for the final spot in the Quarterfinals.

The AFC, CONCACAF, CAF, and Playoff Round winners would then play two head-to-head matches to determine who would join the UEFA and CONMEBOL Champions in the Semi Finals. The four remaining teams would then play two head-to-head matches to determine the Final.

Beginning in 2025, the FIFA Club World Cup will be held once every four years instead of annually and will feature 32 teams opposed to seven.

One club will qualify from the host country and the OFC, four clubs from the AFC, CAF, and CONCACAF, six clubs from CONMEBOL, and 12 clubs from UEFA. Here is a breakdown of how the teams are determined from each league.

• OFC: Highest ranking club of the four winners.
• AFC, CAF, CONCACAF: All four winners qualify. If there is a repeat winner the highest ranked non winners will qualify.
• CONMEBOL: All four winners and the two highest ranked non winners qualify.
• UEFA: All four winners and the eight highest ranked non winners qualify.

These 32 teams will be seeded in eight groups of four. They will play three round robin games and the top two teams from each division (16 teams total) will advance to the knockout stage. This is a single elimination 16 team bracket, so teams will need to win four consecutive games to be crowned the winner.

This new format is significant for both Football Clubs and bettors. The increase in teams gives numerous clubs that previously wouldn't have had the opportunity, the chance to compete for a FIFA Club World Cup. The second-best team in the world might have been in the same league as the best in years past, not gotten a chance to compete for this prestigious title.

For bettors, adding more teams increases the randomness of the event significantly. Previously, teams from UEFA or CONMEBOL would need to win just two matches to be crowned the champion – now they will likely need to win at least two group stage games and four knockout stage games.

When it comes to FIFA Club World Cup betting, there are endless different wagering opportunities. Here is a breakdown of some of the most popular wagers you will see.

3-Way Moneyline: Unlike most sports, soccer matches often end in ties. The three-way money line allows you to wager on either team to win, or the match to end in a draw.

Example – Canada (+120), Draw (-110), USA (+130)

In this case, Canada is a slight favourite over USA, but a draw is the most likely outcome. You will receive the lowest payout for correctly wagering on a draw, the second lowest payout for wagering on Canada, and the highest potential payout for wagering on USA.

2-Way Moneyline: This is the more traditional version of the Moneyline you see in sports. There is no draw option, just a favourite and an underdog. If you are placing a 2-way Moneyline wager on a round robin game for the FIFA Club World Cup, the match could end in a draw and if this is a case, the result of the bet is a “push”, and you will receive your initial stake back.

Example – Canada (-110) vs USA (+120)

Double Chance: This combines options from the 3-way Moneyline giving you two ways to win. You can wager on the match not ending in a draw, or one of the two teams not losing.

Example – Canada or Draw (-140), USA or Draw (+105), Canada or USA (-400)

Point Spread: This puts stipulations on a team winning to even out the odds of favourite and underdog wagers being paid out. The favourite might have to win by a specific amount, and the underdog can lose by a specific amount or win the match.

Example – Canada (-1.5, +110) vs USA (+1.5, -120)

In this example Canada is favoured to win the match, but USA is favoured to cover the spread. If you bet on Canada they need to win by two goals or more, if you bet on USA they can lose by win or win the match. 

Over/Under Goals: This is a wager for how many goals will be scored between both teams in the match. You can also wager on how many goals each specific team will score, which is referred to as team totals.

Example – Canada vs USA

Over 2.5 (-130)

Under 2.5 (+110)

In this example both teams need to combine for three goals for the over to hit, and less than three goals for the under to hit. Sportsbooks do not typically go below 2.5 for soccer betting.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS): This is about as straight forward as it gets. You can wager on “yes” if you think both teams will record a goal, and you can wager on “no” if you think one of both teams will get shutout. This may seem like an odd bet to those more accustomed to hockey, football, or Baseball, but one team not scoring is much more common when it comes to soccer.

Accumulator Bets: Also known as parlay wagers, this is where multiple bets are combined into one to increase your potential payout. For example, you could combine a Moneyline wager on Real Madrid at –250 with the over 3.5.

You will receive a greater payout than placing these two wagers separately, but both wagers need to be correct if you want to receive any payout at all. There is generally no limit to how many wagers you can combine into one. Overall, you are taking on a greater risk the more wagers you combine, but you are also increasing the potential rewards.

Propositions and Specials: Often referred to as prop bets, these are much more specific bets than your standard Moneyline, point spread, or total wagers. Here are some common examples you might run into for FIFA Club World Cup betting:

First goal scorer

Total penalty cards

Lionel Messi total shots

Futures: The most common wagers are placed on games that are happening that day, but you can also bet on future outcomes such as who will win the FIFA Club World Cup or who will take home the Golden Ball as tournament MVP.

Each of these markets gives you the fans what seems like unlimited opportunities to get in on the action. I have found that betting enhances my viewing experience of any sporting event, making every play that much more intense with something truly on the line for yourself.

That being said, betting should be looked at as a pastime and not a true form of long-term sustainable income. We encourage you to gamble responsibly and only risk money that you can afford to lose. Make sure you truly understand the odds of the wager you are placing and try to implement a strategy that works for you.

When it comes to betting strategies, there really is no one right answer. Everyone has their own systems that sometimes work and sometimes don’t. At the end of the day, a ton of luck goes into sports betting, but there are a lot of simple strategies you can implement right now to slightly improve your chances moving forward.

The first thing you can do to improve your chances is analyze the two teams you are betting on. Look at what key players are injured, how the team has been preforming recently, how they have performed against this specific team in the past, etc. The more information you have, the better your chances are to make the best educated decisions.

Another important thing to understand for FIFA Club World Cup odds specifically is that not all leagues that these teams play in are of equal skill level. For example, Auckland City may have won the OFC Men’s Champions League three years in a row, but that does not make them better than all of the teams that haven’t won the UEFA Champions league. There is a reason 12 teams from UEFA make his tournament and only one from OFC makes it, so it's important to understand the level of talent in each league when analyzing their recent performances.

The final strategy I will leave you with is bankroll management. If you know you only have a specific amount of money to wager with, don’t go and risk all of that on one bet. Come up with a unit range you are comfortable with for each wager (normally between 1-2% of your bankroll). For example, if you have $1000 you are comfortable losing on sports betting, place $10 wagers and maybe go up to $20 is you are especially confident.

Betting on the FIFA Club World Cup will slightly vary from sportsbook to sportsbook, but overall, the processes should be simple and fairly similar regardless of who you choose to wager with.

Here are the groups for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Teams were placed into four pots based on how they qualified for the tournament and one team from each pot was randomly drawn for each group.

Teams from the same league other than UEFA could not be drawn into the same group and there could be no more than two UEFA teams or two UEFA teams of the same nationality in the same group.
