Brazil's men's national team has confirmed its two friendlies for the November 2026 FIFA international window in Singapore. The first match will be against Japan on Saturday, November 14, at 7:15 a.m. Brasília time. Three days later, on Tuesday, November 17, Brazil will face Singapore at 7:00 a.m. Brasília time. Both matches will be played at Singapore's National Stadium.
Brazil vs Japan and Singapore: November schedule
| Order | Match | Date | Brasília time | Singapore time | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Japan vs Brazil | November 14, 2026, Saturday | 7:15 a.m. | 6:15 p.m. | National Stadium, Singapore |
| 2nd | Singapore vs Brazil | November 17, 2026, Tuesday | 7:00 a.m. | 6:00 p.m. | National Stadium, Singapore |
The 7:15 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. kickoff times are the times published by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) for Brasília. In November, Singapore is 11 hours ahead of Brasília, so the matches correspond to 6:15 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. local time, respectively.
What is the order of the friendlies?
Brazil plays Japan first, on November 14. Singapore is the second opponent, on November 17. Anyone planning their schedule, alarm or live viewing should therefore remember the sequence: Japan first, Singapore second.
Where will both matches be played?
Both games will take place at the same venue: Singapore's National Stadium. According to the CBF, the stadium opened in 2014, holds about 55,000 spectators and has a retractable roof. Because there is no venue change between the two friendlies, the main practical difference for viewers in Brazil is the date and kickoff time of each match.
Has the broadcast been confirmed?
In its official September 2 announcement, the CBF published the opponents, dates, kickoff times and venue, but did not list broadcasters or streaming platforms. As of the information check on September 3, 2026, the announcement therefore does not contain an official broadcast lineup for these two friendlies. Any channel information published before a later official confirmation should be treated as unconfirmed.
Why will Brazil face Japan and Singapore?
The CBF said the November international calendar limits the availability of European and African opponents because national teams from those regions will be involved in official competitions. Choosing Japan and Singapore also fits the coaching staff's plan to face different footballing styles, assess players and expand tactical options early in the cycle aimed at the 2028 Copa América and the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
What is notable about each matchup?
The Japan game will be a rematch after the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Singapore match, according to the CBF, will be the first meeting between the two countries' senior national teams, making the second friendly a first in the history of Brazil's senior side.
