Is Japan vs Brazil on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch international friendly

Brazil will clash with Japan in a repeat of their 2026 World Cup thriller on Saturday morning.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side emerged 2-1 victors in a dramatic last-32 tie the summer, with Gabriel Martinelli’s 95th-minute winner breaking Japanese hearts in Houston.

Renewing hostilities with the Selecao, Japan will seek revenge against Brazil as the two sides meet in a friendly in Singapore.

It’s Brazil second visit to Asia in as many international breaks, romping to a 4-0 victory in India last time out.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Japan’s friendly with Brazil kicks off at 10:15am GMT on Saturday 14 November at the Singapore National Stadium.

The match is not available to watch on TV in the UK. Fans can follow the game using The Independent’s live blog.

Japan are without a handful of star players with Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma, Crystal Palace defender Takehiro Tomiyasu and striker Ayase Ueda - who scored last time out - sidelined through injury.

Ancelotti is operating with a youthful squad that does not include Alisson Becker, Marquinhos and Matheus Cunha, while Joao Pedro is out with a thigh problem. Raphinha is involved despite only recently recovering from a muscle issue, and could start along with Vinicius Jr.

Japan XI: Suzuki; Seko, Itakura, Ito; Sugawara, Kamada, Tanaka, Nakamura; Kubo, Maeda; Ogawa
