The schedule is available in the UEFA fixture list and in the calendar published by the Portuguese Football Federation.
Why does the match start at 3:45 p.m. in Brazil?
The clearest reference for the conversion is the FPF schedule: 7:45 p.m. in mainland Portugal. On October 4, Portugal will still be observing European summer time, WEST, at UTC+1. Portugal's daylight saving period does not end until October 25, 2026. Brasília remains on UTC-3 throughout the year, with no clock change.
That puts mainland Portugal four hours ahead of Brasília on the match date. A 7:45 p.m. kickoff in Portugal therefore corresponds to 3:45 p.m. in Brasília. The time-zone basis can be checked on the pages for Lisbon clock changes and the Brasília time zone.
UEFA publishes the fixtures using a central European reference, while the FPF presents Portugal's schedule in Portuguese time. Once the applicable time zones in early October are taken into account, both references point to the same kickoff.
Who is in Nations League Group A4?
Group A4 contains Portugal, Denmark, Norway and Wales. The four teams play each other home and away, giving each side six matches during the league phase.
According to the FPF, the schedule is concentrated into two international windows. Portugal play four matches from September 24 through October 4, then return in November for their final two group fixtures.
What is the difference between Norway vs Portugal in September and Portugal vs Norway in October?
The two meetings are only seven days apart, but the home side changes. On September 27, Norway host Portugal in Oslo. On October 4, Portugal are the home team and host Norway at Estádio do Dragão in Porto.
The calendar context changes as well. The September 27 game is Portugal's second fixture in the group. After it, Portugal still travel to Denmark on October 1 before facing Norway again. The October 4 match closes the first four-game sequence and is followed by a break until November.
Portugal's Group A4 schedule
| Date | Match | Brasília time |
|---|---|---|
| 09/24/2026 | Portugal vs Wales | 3:45 p.m. |
| 09/27/2026 | Norway vs Portugal | 3:45 p.m. |
| 10/01/2026 | Denmark vs Portugal | 3:45 p.m. |
| 10/04/2026 | Portugal vs Norway | 3:45 p.m. |
| 11/14/2026 | Portugal vs Denmark | 4:45 p.m. |
| 11/17/2026 | Wales vs Portugal | 4:45 p.m. |
The Brasília times above are converted from the Portuguese schedule. By November, Portugal and the United Kingdom will have ended European summer time, so the time difference with Brasília is one hour smaller.
What are the next matches after Portugal vs Norway?
After the October 4 match, Portugal do not return to Nations League action until November. Their final two group fixtures are Portugal vs Denmark on November 14 and Wales vs Portugal on November 17.
Norway also finish their October sequence after the game in Porto. Their next Group A4 matches are Norway vs Wales on November 14 and Denmark vs Norway on November 17, according to the official UEFA schedule.
How can viewers watch Portugal vs Norway in Brazil?
The official schedules consulted confirm the date, time, group and sequence of matches, but they do not list a Brazilian broadcaster or streaming platform for this fixture. It would therefore be premature to name a service without a specific confirmation. Broadcast information should be updated if an official announcement is made closer to October 4.
