World Cup match timings

Since the first-ever FIFA World Cup in 1930, the tournament has grown into the most-watched sporting event in the world. What began with just 13 teams has evolved into a global festival of football, emotion, and nationalism. From 2026 onwards, the competition expands to 48 teams, marking a new era of togetherness and worldwide representation.

World Cup history has been shaped more than anywhere else by Brazil. Renowned for their beautiful, entertaining, and attacking style of football, Brazil have consistently set the benchmark for performance on the world stage. From their early dominance to continued modern-era success, the Seleção has come to symbolize footballing excellence.

Brazil remain the most successful nation in FIFA World Cup history, having lifted the trophy a record five times. Their triumphs in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002 not only delivered silverware but also introduced a distinct footballing philosophy that has influenced players and fans across the globe.

Below is a look at the most recent FIFA World Cup winners:

Brazil are the only country to have truly dominated the FIFA World Cup throughout its history. The Seleção, with their five world titles, have set trends across different eras, inspired generations through their example, and produced many of the greatest players the game has ever seen.

Brazil’s World Cup story is one of brilliance and determination. The 1958 team, defined by youth and flair, the iconic 1970 side that became a global legend, and the more recent triumphs in 1994 and 2002 all stand as proof of Brazil’s continued dominance in world football.

Even in tournaments where they have not lifted the trophy, Brazil have almost always reached the latter stages of the World Cup—a level of consistency unmatched by any other nation. As a result, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is once again expected to see Brazil regarded as one of the strongest contenders for the title.

For fans in Brazil, the 2026 World Cup offers a highly watchable schedule. Matches will be spread across afternoon, evening, and late-night kick-off slots, making Brasília Time one of the most convenient time zones for following the tournament live.
