Brazil's quest to end its 24-year World Cup drought begins on Saturday with a stern Group C test against a Morocco team looking to build on its impressive display at Qatar 2022.
Last year, former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti became the first foreign national to take on the role of Brazil's men's head coach and was tasked with leading the Seleção to a record sixth World Cup title. The South Americans enter the tournament after a fruitful set of warm-ups, with three consecutive wins over Croatia, Panama and Egypt.
They face a Moroccan team that comes into the World Cup as the controversial holders of the Africa Cup of Nations. The Atlas Lions reached the semifinals of the last World Cup, but remain an enigma for this tournament, with head coach Mohamed Ouahbi replacing the respected Walid Regragui back in March. Key stars Abde Ezzalzouli and Nayef Aguerd have both been forced out of the squad due to injury.
Brazil takes on Morocco in this Group C match on Saturday at MetLife Stadium (aka New York New Jersey Stadium) in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with kickoff set for 6 p.m. ET local time. That makes it a 3 p.m. PT start elsewhere in the US and Canada, an 11 p.m. start in the UK and an 8 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Sunday.
Real Madrid forward Brahim Diaz claimed the Golden Boot at last year's Africa Cup of Nations after scoring five goals for Morocco, though he missed a crucial penalty in the final.

How to watch the 2026 World Cup using a VPN
If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the World Cup action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. Additionally, it can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, providing an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions to ensure you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.
