The Brazilian national team, under coach Carlo Ancelotti, will play three friendlies during the September-October international break. They will face Australia twice (September 25 in Townsville and September 29 in Brisbane) and then India on October 3 in Kolkata at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (Salt Lake Stadium). This will be the first-ever match between Brazil and India. The matches come after Brazil's disappointing elimination by Norway in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16. FIFA has unified the September and October breaks into a single window from September 21 to October 6 to reduce player workload, allowing a maximum of four matches. Brazil also plans a November trip to Singapore for a tournament with Japan, Paraguay, and the hosts. India is noted as having the largest Brazilian fan base outside of Brazil.
