When and Where It Will Be Played

The Benfica vs Bayern Munich match will take place on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. U.S. kickoff times are:

• 12:00 p.m. PT
• 1:00 p.m. MT
• 2:00 p.m. CT
• 3:00 p.m. ET

Bayern Munich comes in with a perfect record, having defeated Auckland City 10–0 and Boca Juniors 2–1, already securing a place in the Round of 16. Benfica, with 4 points after a 6–0 win over the New Zealanders and a 2–2 draw with the Argentinians, could still take the top spot with a victory.

Bayern Looking to Finish First

The team led by Vincent Kompany has already qualified but aims to lock down first place. Key players like Leroy Sané, Joshua Kimmich, and veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer provide a solid foundation.

Jamal Musiala is expected to see limited minutes to avoid physical strain, but the German side will still field a strong lineup to finish the group stage on a high note.

Benfica Aiming for an Upset

With a squad captained by Nicolás Otamendi and featuring stars such as Ángel Di María and striker Vangelis Pavlidis, Benfica still hopes to finish at the top of Group C. The team has shown strength in attack but will need to stay sharp defensively against Bayern's firepower.

A win would place Benfica at the top of the group, while a draw would likely keep them in second—pending the outcome of Boca Juniors vs Auckland City.

The matchup between Benfica and Bayern Munich kicks off this Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. CT / 1:00 p.m. MT / 12:00 p.m. PT. A true European showdown that could shape both clubs’ paths heading into the knockout rounds of the Club World Cup.
