When And Where To Watch Real Madrid Must Win Game: Real Madrid will take on RB Salzburg in the final round of Group H matches in a must-win contest tomorrow morning. The two teams, despite being the top two in their group, will play this game for survival. But when and where to watch this match?
Real Madrid might be the most successful and popular club in football history. The multi-time UEFA Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup winners easily qualified for this reformed CWC by being among the highest-ranked teams on their continent.
However, Los Blancos had an underwhelming 2024-25 season where they finished second in La Liga behind Barcelona, lost the Copa del Rey final to the Catalans, and were eliminated in the UCL quarter-finals by Arsenal.

Meanwhile, RB Salzburg has been the best-performing team in Europe and domestically. They won the Austrian Bundesliga four seasons in a row from 2018 to 2023. However, they have finished second in the last two seasons behind Sturm Graz.
Despite that, they qualified for the FIFA Club World Cup due to their favourable UEFA coefficient, seeing how they qualified for the UCL knockouts in 2021-22.
Both these teams were put into Group H of the CWC alongside Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal and Mexican Liga MX side Pachuca, which is a historic club that had a poor 2024-25 season.
The Madridistas drew their opening game of this competition against Al-Hilal 1-1 before defeating Pachuca 3-1 without an out-of-commission Kylian Mbappe. They currently have four points in two matches with a goal difference of +2.

Meanwhile, RB Salzburg defeated Pachuca in their opening game 2-1 before playing a 0-0 draw against Al-Hilal. They, too, have four points after two matches but have a goal difference of +1 heading into their final league game.
Al-Hilal played draws against two strong European teams, making them the favourites heading into their final league game against Pachuca. And if they win that game, the Real Madrid vs RB Salzburg match becomes a must-win for both teams – well, almost.
If we assume that the Saudi side will win their match, the Spanish giants would need either a win or a draw to advance to the round of 16. However, due to their inferior goal difference as compared to Real, the Austrian side will have to win their match in this scenario.
This Real Madrid vs RB Salzburg must-win match will be played in the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The game will start at 9:00 PM local time on Thursday, June 26. This equated to 6:30 AM IST on Friday, June 27.
This match, like all the FIFA Club World Cup matches, will not be broadcast live on TV in India. It will instead be live-streamed on the DAZN app and website on mobiles, tablets, and other streaming devices.
