Where to watch Brazil vs Bolivia live stream, TV channel, lineups, betting odds for 2026 World Cup qualifier

Brazil start their push for 2026 World Cup qualification with a home game against Bolivia as part of a scattered schedule for nations looking to progress from South America.

Due to the timing of the 2022 World Cup in November and December last year, and the 2024 Copa America midway through next year, CONMEBOL has split qualifying matches into fixture blocks spread across international windows into 2025.

Brazil still retain the incredible record of being the most successful side in World Cup history with five titles, and are the only nation to qualify for every edition of the tournament since 1930.

They were eliminated on penalties by Croatia from last year's finals in Qatar, but they are among the clear favourites to qualify from the South American section. If they do, they will be a candidate to go all the way in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

What time does Brazil vs Bolivia kickoff?

This 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier takes place at Estadio Olimpico do Para, in Belem, Brazil and kicks off on Friday, September 8 at 9:45 p.m. local time.

Here's how that time translates across some of the major territories:

Brazil vs Bolivia live stream, TV channel

Individual nations within CONMEBOL will have broadcast agreements in place with domestic operators, with Globo and SporTV covering this fixture in Brazil.

This match will not be available as things stand for most of the territories listed above. However, a late agreement means fans in the United States will be able to live stream the match via ViX, or watch on TV on Telemundo — which is also available to Fubo subscribers.

Streaming service Fanatiz will be offering live access to other qualifiers for fans in the USA and Canada.

Brazil vs Bolivia projected lineups, team news

New interim Brazil head coach Fernando Diniz has looked to make changes in his first squad with Neymar a surprise inclusion due to his lack of action in Saudi Arabia following injury. Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior is sidelined through injury and Casemiro is set to captain the team.

Bolivia are the lowest-ranked team in CONMEBOL qualifying (83rd) and they have not reached the World Cup since 1994. Captain Marcelo Moreno is the standout player in a largely domestic-based squad with the Independiente del Valle striker ending 2022 qualifying as top scorer, with 10 goals.

Bolivia projected lineup (3-5-2 right to left): Viscarra (GK) — Suarez, Justino, Roca — Media, Cuellar, Usino, Abrego, Terceros — Moreno, Arrascaita

Brazil vs Bolivia prediction, odds

All the signs point to Diniz starting his new role with a win and the Samba Boys beat Bolivia home and away en route to the 2022 World Cup with an aggregate score of 9-0.
