SHARE

Here are the key details Brazil fans should know ahead of the 2026 World Cup, such as the fixtures, group, and squad.

Five-time world champions Brazil are heading to the 2026 FIFA World Cup with huge expectations once again as the Selecao prepare for another shot at global glory in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

After confirming their final squad for the tournament, Brazil will now turn full attention to navigating a challenging group stage and building momentum towards the knockout rounds. The South American giants arrive at the competition with a squad packed with established stars, emerging talents and tournament experience.

One of the biggest talking points surrounding the squad announcement was the omission of veteran defender Thiago Silva, while forward Joao Pedro also missed the final list. Despite the absences, Brazil still boast one of the strongest squads in the tournament and remains among the favourites to lift the trophy.
