Brazil is set to meet Norway in a 2026 FIFA World Cup round‑of‑16 encounter on Sunday, July 5, 2026, at New Jersey’s New York New Jersey Stadium, broadcast live on FOX.
Norway, the sole opponent Brazil has yet to defeat, stands in the way of Brazil’s pursuit of a ninth consecutive World Cup quarterfinal appearance.
In the round of 32, Brazil erased a 1‑0 halftime deficit against Japan, securing a 2‑1 victory with Gabriel Martinelli’s 90th‑minute plus five strike — the latest regulation winner in Brazil’s World Cup history.
Brazil aims to carry that second‑half momentum forward, having outshot Japan 11‑1 after the break and scored two goals in that period.
Norway secured its inaugural knockout‑stage victory in World Cup history, edging Ivory Coast 2‑1 with an 86th‑minute winner from Erling Haaland.
Haaland has been Norway’s leading scorer this summer, finding the net five times in three matches, having missed the group finale against France.
