It’s a glorious moment for football fans right now – this is usually the time when we’re suffering through the longest football drought of the year.
The cup finals and exciting conclusion to the season have faded into the rear view mirror, and in a summer without an international tournament it would usually be a long, fidgety wait reading about transfers waiting for those first friendlies to start up in late July.
WATCH Chelsea vs. Flamengo for free on any device with DAZN.
This year, however, we’ve got the Club World Cup to enjoy. Chelsea and the other best teams in the world have all flown to the USA to compete for a new and improved FIFA trophy, with the Blues already having notched a win over LAFC earlier this week.
How to watch Flamengo vs. Chelsea

The best way to watch the games is through DAZN, who won the rights to show the whole tournament. The best part is, you can see them all for free, with a premium service also available.
On the free service you see adds during games with no replays and no availability of extended highlights, but considering it’s free, it’s a great deal.
Brazilian giants Flamengo are the strongest team Chelsea will face in the group stage, and so we’re really curious to see how we get on, and how strong a team Enzo Maresca picks.
The tournament so far
It’s been a slow start in the USA, let’s face it. Some pretty low quality teams and some pretty low quality games out have been on display. But once we get to the knockout, we’re expecting high quality games between high quality teams, with a lot of money on the line.
For a team like Chelsea, still trying to establish themselves back at the top table, it’s a big deal.
