FIFA announced on Wednesday the dates for the Intercontinental Cup. The new competition, which replaces the old Club World Cup, arrives at its second edition - the first after the Club World Cup, between June and July.

The tournament maintains the same format. Pyramids (Egypt), the African representative, and Auckland City (New Zealand), the Oceania representative, compete in the preliminary round. The winner faces Al-Ahli, the current Asian Champions League champion. These matches will take place on September 14 and 23.

On the other side of the bracket, the Libertadores champion will face Cruz Azul, winner of the 2025 Concachampions, in the so-called Americas Derby. The winner faces the winner of Al-Ahli x Pyramids/Auckland City, for the Challenger Cup. Whoever gets through this clash decides the title against Paris Saint-Germain. The final phase games take place between December 10 and 17.

Still without a fixed venue, FIFA has only confirmed the venues for the first matches:
