Brazil 2026 World Cup Schedule – Fixtures, Dates and Venues
Five-time World Cup winners Brazil (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002) are one of the tournament favourites, with the Selecao aiming to regain glory in 2022 after a quarterfinal exit.
The group stage draw, held on December 5, 2025, at the Kennedy Centre in Washington, D.C., has placed Brazil in Group C alongside Morocco, Scotland and Haiti. The group pits the South American giants against familiar foes and underdogs.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will represent a historic event in international football, expanding to 48 teams for the first time and being co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The 2026 World Cup Schedule will run from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with 104 matches played in 16 state-of-the-art stadiums across three nations.
In this expanded format, the top two teams from each of the 12 groups automatically advance to the round of 32, along with the eight best third-placed teams overall. From there, matches are single-elimination, with extra time and penalties if necessary.
Brazil secured their place in the CONMEBOL qualifiers by finishing in the top six despite a challenging campaign that saw managerial changes before Carlo Ancelotti took over in May 2025.
Let’s take a look at Brazil’s group stage fixtures, potential knockout stage route, and other opponents in Group C.
