Brazil make their debut this Saturday (13) at the World Cup; fans will have several options to watch the match against Morocco

The day has arrived! The Brazilian National Team begins its quest for a sixth world title this Saturday (13), at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The clash with Morocco marks the opening of Group C of the 2026 World Cup. For fans to follow Carlo Ancelotti's team in its first challenge of the tournament, Coluna do Fla informs that Globo will show the match on free-to-air TV.

On TV Globo, Everaldo Marques will handle play-by-play, while Ana Thaís Matos, Cristiane Rozeira, Denilson and Junior make up the commentary team. The broadcaster is making changes to its schedule, canceling the second edition of local newscasts and the episodes of the soap operas ‘A nobreza do amor’ and ‘Coração acelerado’.

SBT will also broadcast the match on free-to-air TV. Galvão Bueno will be on play-by-play, joined by commentators Alexandre Pato, Mauro Beting and Muricy Ramalho. Refereeing analysis will be handled by Nadine Basttos.

In addition, on pay TV, SporTV will show the game with Luiz Carlos Jr. on play-by-play and technical analysis from Eric Faria and Ricardinho.

HOW DOES BRAZIL ARRIVE FOR ITS WORLD CUP DEBUT?

Brazil come into the World Cup after securing qualification with a fifth-place finish in the South American qualifiers. Carlo Ancelotti faces important challenges, such as the absence of Neymar due to injury and the absence of Wesley at right back.

Expectations are focused on the Italian coach’s first World Cup lineup. Brazil’s likely starting XI is as follows: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Vini Jr, Matheus Cunha and Raphinha.

AND MOROCCO?

On the other side, Morocco are trying to repeat the prominence they achieved in Qatar in 2022, when they reached the semifinals. Thus, the generation led by Achraf Hakimi, Brahim Díaz and Yassine Bounou is looking to maintain its competitive level, even with the absences of center back Nayef Aguerd and forward Abde Ezzalzouli.
