Ancelotti's team makes its debut in Miami against Al Hilal, while Atlético faces PSG in Los Angeles.
FIFA has announced the schedule for the Club World Cup, which will take place in twelve stadiums in the United States from June 15 to July 13.
Real Madrid makes its debut against Al Hilal on June 18 at 3:00 PM ET in Miami. Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid will start earlier, with a big match against PSG on June 15 in Los Angeles at 3pm ET.
Here is Real Madrid's group stage schedule:
Atlético's group stage matches are as follows:
Planning challenges for Atlético
The combination of Atlético Madrid with Seattle means that their matches will mainly take place on the West Coast (Los Angeles and Seattle), resulting in greater adjustments to travel and time zones. However, their opening match against PSG – a highlight of the group stage – will kick off at 12pm local time in Los Angeles, which equates to 3pm ET, making it convenient for fans on the East Coast. Their games against Seattle and Botafogo are at 6:00 PM and 3:00 PM ET respectively, guaranteeing good viewing times in the Miami area.
Real Madrid's east coast fixture schedule
Real Madrid, on the other hand, plays all its group matches on the east coast. Their debut is scheduled for June 18 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami at 3:00 PM ET, just four days after the tournament opener between Inter Miami and Al Ahly at the same venue.
Madrid's second match against Pachuca in Charlotte also kicks off at 3:00 PM ET, offering excellent viewing times on the East Coast. However, their final match against Salzburg in Philadelphia starts at 9:00 PM ET.
