Find out where to watch the Brazil national team throughout FIFA World Cup 2026.

Brazil have received encouraging news on Neymar's fitness after the forward underwent a scheduled MRI scan. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed the Santos star is progressing as expected in his recovery from a calf injury, although the Selecao are set to remain cautious over his return as they begin their World Cup campaign.

It's so close we can almost taste it. The 2026 World Cup is now just a two days away, with the best players from around the globe descending on the United States, Mexico and Canada for what promises to be a superb summer of football. While some teams will solely harbour dreams of getting out of the groups, others know that anything other than a trophy parade in late-July will go down as failure. We're set, then, for five-and-a-half weeks of drama, filled with joy and heartbreak in equal measure.

There really is nothing like the World Cup. Even just qualifying generates a level of nationwide excitement that the club game simply cannot match, which is why we witnessed truly joyous scenes all across the globe as one country after another secured a spot at this summer's festival of football in North America. The final six participants were confirmed in March, with Sweden, Turkiye, Czechia and Bosnia & Herzegovina taking the four remaining slots in Europe, while Iraq and DR Congo came out of the inter-confederation play-offs.
