Former Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso begins his tenure as Real Madrid head coach today as the Spanish giants begin their FIFA Club World Cup campaign against Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal at the Hard Rock Stadium.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to watch every match of the tournament as it happens, wherever you are in the world. We'll also explain how to use a VPN if the match isn't available where you are, along with a full fixture list.
Alonso replaces Carlo Ancelotti, and has already been backed in the transfer market with the signings of Liverpool's Trent Alexander‑Arnold and Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen, with both players in line to make their their debuts for Los Blancos today.
Al Hilal meanwhile come into this tournament as the reigning AFC Champions League winners, and boast a star-studded lineup including former Man City star João Cancelo and ex-Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrović, and will be looking to spring an upset with their high-tempo attacking style under new Italian coach Simone Inzaghi.
Real Madrid takes on Al Hilal on Wednesday, June 18, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT. That makes it an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Thursday.
