Brazil is in the Round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup, and current previews have them facing Japan. The latest matchup preview lists Brazil vs Japan on Monday, June 29, in Houston , and Brazil is favored to advance.

Where Brazil sits

Brazil finished the group stage at the top of Group C with seven points , according to a recent tournament recap. That put them into the knockout round rather than out of the tournament.

Upcoming match

The confirmed Round of 32 schedule shows Brazil vs Japan at NRG Stadium in Houston on June 29. Preview coverage also notes Brazil is the favorite in that game.

In plain terms

So if you mean “how far have they gotten,” Brazil is currently into the knockout stage , not the final yet. If you mean “what place are they expected to finish,” the most current reports suggest they are among the stronger contenders, but nothing is decided beyond the next match.
