Brazil's quest to end its 24-year World Cup drought begins on Saturday, June 18, 2026, with a Group C test against Morocco. The match is scheduled to take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Brazil, a five-time World Cup champion, last won the tournament in 2002. Morocco, meanwhile, made history at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar by becoming the first African team to reach the semifinals.
Both teams are expected to field strong lineups. Brazil's squad includes stars like Neymar and Vinícius Júnior, while Morocco relies on players such as Achraf Hakimi and Sofyan Amrabat.
The match will be broadcast live on Fox Sports in the United States and on various international networks. Kickoff is set for 8:00 PM ET.
