Gremio vs Botafogo RJ kick-off time

Serie A - Serie A

Gremio and Botafogo RJ will kick off on 5 Feb 2026, 00:30 GMT and 19:30 EST.

Match Preview 

Gremio are enduring a poor run as they winless in their last three matches across all competitions, recording two successive defeats and one draw, which came in their most recent game against Juventude. 

However, the Immortal Tricolour are undefeated in their last two home matches, and a victory over Botafogo would see them move up in the Serie A standings 

Meanwhile, Botafogo saw their three-match unbeaten run come to an end when they lost to Fluminense in their most recent game. Before that, the three-time Brazilian champions had recorded three consecutive wins. The Big Fire are placed at the top of the Serie A standings and a win over Gremio would consolidate their place at the summit.

>How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belong on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
