Brazil at the World Cup

Brazil are the most successful nation in World Cup history with five titles — 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002 — and are the only country to have appeared at every World Cup.

Record-setting history

Brazil's five World Cup wins are more than any other nation. The 1970 side, with Pelé, is often called the greatest team ever, and Brazil are the only country present at all 22 tournaments held so far.

Recent tournaments

Since their 2002 title, Brazil have reached knockout stages but not the final, including the painful 7–1 home semi-final loss in 2014 and quarter-final exits in 2018 and 2022. They qualified for 2026 through the CONMEBOL campaign.

2026 outlook

Brazil arrive in North America chasing a sixth star with another generation of attacking talent. Follow their group, fixtures and standings on the team hub once the draw and schedule are confirmed.
