The Brazilian national team already has an opponent and date to return to the field after being eliminated by Norway in the 2026 World Cup. The next commitment will be against Australia in September, marking the beginning of the cycle for the 2030 World Cup. The last result was a 1-2 loss to Norway (2026-07-05), but the team seeks to restart strongly in friendlies.

When does Brazil play next?

The Brazilian national team will face Australia in two friendlies in September. The matches are scheduled for September 25 and 29, both in Australian territory. The first game will be in Townsville at 7 AM (Brasília time), and the second in Brisbane, also at 7 AM.

What comes after the friendlies?

After the games against Australia, the Brazilian national team will focus on the qualifiers for the 2030 World Cup. However, the format of the qualifiers has not yet been defined by CONMEBOL. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) promises a more stable cycle under the command of coach Carlo Ancelotti, who renewed his contract until 2030.

What to expect from the qualifiers?

CONMEBOL has not yet released the details of the qualifiers for the 2030 World Cup. Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, which will host opening games of the tournament, will likely not participate in the qualifiers. The number of spots and the competition format will depend on FIFA, which has not yet decided on the number of teams in the next World Cup.
