CWC kits unveiled as Chelsea, Man City… prepare to debut their 2025-26 strips

The new kits set to be worn at this summer's Club World Cup in the United States have now been unveiled.

Many clubs across Europe have already teased their new kits for the 2025-26 season, as they often tend to in May and June, but this year fans are set to see a glimpse of the new looks earlier than usual, with the Club World Cup kicking off this weekend.

While it is not yet guaranteed that all clubs will sport their fresh strips during the summer tournament, it's expected that several teams will use the competition as a unique opportunity to debut the kits, given it will drive sales ahead of the new campaign.

Chelsea and Manchester City are the Premier League representatives taking part in the tournament, while Champions League winners PSG, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and LaLiga giants Real Madrid are among those also featuring.

The Blues take on Mexican outfit Leon for their first Club World Cup match on Monday, while Manchester City face Moroccan side Wydad on Wednesday.

Mail Sport takes a look at the new kits fans are set to see for the first time at the tournament.

Chelsea

The Blues' fresh look for 2025-26 is a more traditional and classic style compared to the vibrant shirt from last season, with Nike opting for a cleaner blue design with a white trim.

Embossed into the new shirt is a pattern inspired by London's architecture, including historic landmarks such as the Chelsea Town Hall.

Manchester City

Although City's new third strip has received backlash from several fans ahead of the new season, there are few complaints as far as the home kit is concerned.

The Puma shirt includes a slick white streak dashed across the badge and sponsor, harking back to the 1970s when a sash was an iconic element of the away jersey.

Real Madrid

After going a rare season without silverware last term, the Spanish giants have rolled back the years with a design that is strikingly similar to their 2009-10 strip.

Decorated with a golden border, Real Madrid will hope the kit acts as a sign of honours heading to the Bernabeu next season, starting with the Club World Cup.

Juventus

The Old Lady has, in fact, already debuted their new 2025-26 kit, having showcased it to fans on the final day of the season.

Eager to add some colour into Juventus' classic black and white stripes, adidas has given the new strip a striking pink border and club badge.

Inter Milan

Eager to bounce back with silverware at the Club World Cup following their humbling defeat by PSG in the Champions League final, Inter Milan are set to debut a fresh take on their trademark blue and black stripes.

The blue hue is far more vivid and vibrant than before, perhaps suggesting that bright times are ahead for the Serie A runners-up.

Bayern Munich

Harry Kane and Co are set to wear an eye-catching new Bayern Munich jersey at the Club World Cup, with the white frays at the top and bottom of the shirt creating an 'M' design, which pays tribute to the German city.

Despite the twist, adidas has otherwise stayed true to the club's traditional colours of red and white.

Other kits to look out for

Portuguese giants Porto and Benfica will also be at the tournament and have each unveiled their new kits ahead of next season.

While Porto released their new but traditional strip under the tagline, 'Because classic never goes out of style,' Benfica gave a nod to Portuguese street football culture with a black trim and rounded collar.

Meanwhile, Brazilian side Botafogo have unveiled a Reebok classic with bold black and white stripes and a throwback polo collar to create a simple design for football's purists.

Mexico's Monterrey have opted for a more modern and stylish approach to their 2025-26 kit, splashing the strip with a broken paint effect.
