Kings League World Cup 2025: Format, Teams, and Where to Watch!

June is the month when we’ll see the best teams in the world play football to find out who’s the best on the planet — and not just in the United States. The Kings World Cup Nations 2025 will take place from June 2nd to 14th, and yes, you can place Sports Bets on the Kings League World Cup 2025!

This is the second edition of the competition, now featuring 32 teams from this innovative 7-a-side football tournament. Matches consist of two 20-minute halves, with unique rules designed for modern audiences — including the famous President’s Goal, where the owner of each team can step onto the field to take a penalty kick.

With some new rules and iconic names like Sergio Kun Agüero, former Manchester City and Argentina striker, the KWC Nations Paris 2025 is underway. We’ve prepared this guide with everything you need to know ahead of the grand final on June 14th in the French capital. Let’s go?

What’s the Format of the Kings League World Cup?

Forget about traditional tournaments with group stages and knockout rounds. The Kings World Cup Nations 2025** follows a different format, starting with Round 1. In this stage, 16 teams face off in single-elimination matches, with the 8 winners advancing to the next stage.

Round 2 happens between June 4th and 7th, where winners move on to the Round of 16. However, teams that lose in this preliminary round get a second chance — they’ll face other defeated teams, and the winners qualify for the Last Chance stage on June 8th and 9th.

In the Last Chance stage, only teams with one win participate in a final elimination match. The winners then proceed to the Round of 16 on June 10th and 11th, followed by the Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and the Final on June 12th, 13th, and 14th. All knockout matches are single-elimination — lose and you’re out.

What Are the New Rules in the Kings League World Cup?

It’s not just the number of teams that’s changing in the Kings World Cup Nations 2025. The tournament, created by former defender Gerard Piqué, announced a few new rules to spice things up:

1. Only the Team Spokesperson Can Talk to the Referee

Just like in traditional football, players often crowd the referee. Not here. In the KWC Clubs Paris 2025, only one player per team, the designated spokesperson, can approach the referee. This player must be chosen before the match.

2. Handball at the 18th and 28th Minute?

No, football won’t suddenly turn into handball. However, in a twist, direct free-kicks awarded at the 18th or 38th minute can be taken even if the clock hits zero. That means we could see some legendary goals at the very last second!

3. Transfer Window Before the Round of 16

There’s a transfer window between Round 2 and the Round of 16, meaning teams can reinforce their squads during the tournament. Teams are allowed to swap their three Wildcards in the hunt for the title!

Which Teams Are Playing in the Kings League World Cup?

Performing well in the Kings League World Cup doesn’t guarantee a spot in the next edition. Just ask Gaules’ G3X, runners-up last year but out of the 2025 edition after losing key player Kelvin Oliveira to injury, leaving K9 as the Brazilian star of the scene.

Qualification for the tournament follows two criteria:

• Regional league standings, with 5 teams from Spain, 3 from Germany, and 4 each from Brazil, France, Italy, and North America.
• Wildcards, meaning invited teams. There are 8 Wildcard slots in 2025.
