The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is nearing its end with the final between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey on Sunday.

Several teams have already qualified for the next tournament but which Premier League sides will be there?

Formerly an annual competition, the Club World Cup is now to be held every four years, in an effort to emulate the country World Cup.
That means the next edition of the Club World Cup is scheduled to take place from June to July 2029.
Who could host the next Club World Cup?
The location of the 2029 Club World Cup has yet to be selected, but several countries have already expressed an interest in becoming the host nation.
A few weeks ago, Brazil stated their intent to host, following the success of their four clubs at this summer’s tournament, including Fluminense who reached the semi-finals before losing to Chelsea.
Samir Xaud, President of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), says he has spoken to FIFA President Gianni Infantino about the matter: ‘It all started with an introductory conversation.
‘I talked about my goals as head of the CBF and said that we want to be closer to FIFA. I praised the event and the level of Brazilian clubs and, finally, I made the country available to host the next Club World Cup.
‘President Infantino was very happy and said that it is totally possible. Now we will work to make it happen. It will be a great goal.’
Qatar are also interested after they hosted the 2022 World Cup, but like that tournament the event would have to be moved to the winter months to avoid the extreme heat of the summer, something European teams would strongly object to.
The 2030 country World Cup is being hosted by Portugal, Spain and Morocco, and the latter two have declared their interest in hosting the Club World Cup on their own as a warm-up event, much in the same way the USA are doing this summer.
It has been previously reported that Australia, either on their own or in a joint-bid with New Zealand, could host, while FIFA have also considered choosing the USA again.
Which teams have already qualified for the 2029 Club World Cup?
The 2025 Club World Cup may not have finished yet but already four teams have qualified for the 2029 edition.
At the time of writing, the next tournament will stick to the same qualification process and slot allocation, meaning 12 European teams will take part, with a maximum of two per country.
This includes the winners of the Champions League from 2025 to 2028, meaning PSG have already booked their place after thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the UCL final in May.
2029 Club World Cup qualified teams
Al-Ahli (Saudi Arabia) – Winner of the 2024/25 AFC Champions League Elite
PSG (France) – Winners of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League
Pyramids (Egypt) – Winner of the 2024/25 CAF Champions League
Cruz Azul (Mexico) – Winner of the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup
The rest of the European spots will be given to the best performing teams in the Champions League over the four year period from 2024 to 2028.
As it stands, Arsenal and Aston Villa would be the Premier League representatives as they were the two best performing English sides in the UCL last season, reaching the semi-finals and quarter-finals respectively.
However, this could all change as there has been talk of further expanding the competition from 32 teams to 48.
