Los Angeles FC will host Club America in a one-off match to determine who gets the final spot in the inaugural edition of the expanded Club World Cup.
This game is necessary due to Club Leon having to drop out of the competition because of its ownership group violating FIFA's multi-club ownership rules. The owners of Club Leon, Grupo Pachuca, also own the team Pachuca CF, which will be part of the Club World Cup.
LAFC was selected for this match because it was the runner-up in the 2023 CONCACAF Champions Cup, while Club America had the highest Club World Cup confederation ranking at the end of the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Los Angeles FC vs. Club America will be broadcast in the United States on TNT, available via cable TV and live TV streaming apps such as YouTubeTV and SlingTV.
Fans looking for a Spanish-language broadcast in the US can watch on Univision, and the game will be streamed for free worldwide on DAZN, according to FIFA's website.
Los Angeles FC vs. Club America is scheduled to kick off at 10:30 PM ET/9:30 PM CT/7:30 PM PT on Saturday, May 31st from BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
