Matches will be played across 12 venues in the US which, alongside Canada and Mexico, also host the 2026 World Cup.
Fifa is facing legal action from player unions and leagues about the scheduling of the event, which begins two weeks after the Champions League final at the end of the 2024-25 European calendar and ends five weeks before the first Premier League match of the 2025-2026 season.
But football’s world governing body believes the dates allow sufficient rest time before the start of the domestic campaigns.
The Club World Cup will now take place once every four years, when it was previously held annually and involved just seven teams.
