How to watch the Club World Cup for free: Why Magis TV is dangerous and what's a safe alternative

In an age of exponentially growing subscriptions, watching free soccer matches in the best quality has become almost impossible, which is why more and more people are turning to unofficial platforms . In the context of the 2025 Club World Cup , one of the most downloaded platforms for watching sporting events without paying a cent is Magis TV . But what seems cheap can end up being very expensive.

While the broadcast of the Boca Juniors and River Plate matches is provided by the free-to-air channel Telefe, soccer fans who want to enjoy the rest of the matches have the option of subscribing to the cable channel DirectTV Sports or Disney Plus . Or they can resort to illegal means.

Magis TV It's not available in official stores like Google Play or the App Store. To install it, you have to download an APK file from external sites, which is a warning sign . The reason? Bypassing the operating system's most basic security controls.

But the problem doesn't end there. This app, like others that illegally retransmit pay TV signals, has been flagged by experts and users on forums like Reddit for containing Trojans capable of accessing the home router , modifying DNS servers, and redirecting the user to phishing pages. The risk? That when you think you're logging into home banking, you're actually sharing your data with a fake site.

Additionally, Magis TV requests unnecessary permissions upon installation, accesses sensitive phone resources , and may include malware or spyware, especially if the phone is connected to a vulnerable home network.

The good news is that you don't have to risk valuable personal information—email passwords, home banking, phone contacts, and more—to follow the Club World Cup.
