How to Watch Brazil vs. Croatia on TV, Live Stream: International Friendly

Brazil entered the Qatari World Cup with expectations of conquering the soccer world for a sixth time, but its dreams were dashed by a plucky European nation with a knack for overachieving.

On Tuesday evening in Orlando, the Seleção will lock horns with their most recent World Cup slayers for the first time since their crushing penalty shootout defeat in Al Rayyan.

While Brazil has pivoted to Carlo Ancelotti in a bid to end its 24-year wait for a sixth crowning glory, Croatia are still astutely led by Zlatko Dalić. After a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign, the Vatreni qualified for this summer’s tournament with ease and impressively overcame Colombia in its first outing of 2026.

The South American behemoths aren’t exactly in similarly high spirits heading into Tuesday’s friendly, with Ancelotti’s impact so far relatively subdued. His team was second best in a 2–1 defeat to a swashbuckling France outfit last time out, and they’ve since lost their top scorer in qualifying to a hamstring issue.

Results may be inconsequential at this juncture, but Ancelotti won’t fancy tasting back-to-back defeats to strong opposition with the start of the World Cup edging closer.
