The Club World Cup is set to be broadcast on free-to-air Channel 5 in the UK this summer after they reached an agreement with global rights holder DAZN.
The broadcaster will show 23 of the tournament's 63 matches live, including four last-16 ties, two quarter-finals, one semi-final and the final as well as 15 group games.
The matches will also be shown on DAZN, who will exclusively televise the other 40 fixtures after they agreed a £787million deal with FIFA for rights for the tournament.
Channel 5 has previously held the rights to the Europa League, showing it live from 1997 until 2012.
But the deal with DAZN for the Club World Cup, reported by The Guardian, is one of the highest profile sporting events it has acquired.
The new expanded 32-team competition features Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan and Juventus.DAZN has said it will make every game available to watch for free worldwide on its app.
The British streaming platform struck a deal with FIFA, who had previously struggled to find a broadcaster, in December.
Just three months earlier president Gianni Infantino held an emergency meeting to try and drum up interest.
DAZN's deal appears to be partly propped up by funding from Saudi Arabia.
Indeed, a minority stake was sold to SURJ Sports Investment, a company operating as part of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, in February.
ITV reportedly made a cheeky £0 bid to broadcast the Club World Cup last summer - before the DAZN package.
The terrestrial TV giant looked to convince the governing body to give them the rights free of charge if it agreed to screen games during the new-look, expanded tournament on their main channels.
ITV initially entered the race, believing their offer to invest in production costs and screen games to a wider audience may have been enough to tempt FIFA.
The tournament will run from mid-June until July 13 and games will be played across the US, including in Charlotte, Cincinnati and Los Angeles.
Clubs will able to earn up to £97m in prize money if they win all of their group-stage games and then the tournament itself. Chelsea and Manchester City will compete in it as a result of winning the Champions League in 2021 and 2023 respectively.
Clubs from other continents that have qualified include Boca Juniors, River Plate and Al-Hilal.
The only team from CONCACAF, the north American division, will be Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, while Infantino called it the 'the most widely accessible club football tournament ever'.
The competition had originally received criticism from clubs and players for adding more games to a cramped calendar.
Global players's union Fifpro and the European Leagues body filed a complaint to the European Commission last year to protest FIFA's 'abuse of dominance' in the game.
According the tournament regulations published by FIFA, clubs must field their strongest teams for all games.
