Which channel to watch Uruguay vs. Brazil for the qualifiers?

Both teams prepared for this confrontation with particular care, a classic between two of the three teams with the most titles on the continent. Celestes and verdeamarelos come from drawing last week, but for Uruguay the result was less bitter than for Brazil: they rescued a point visiting the always difficult Barranquilla against Colombia, while Fernando Díniz's team lost two at home against Venezuela.

Brazil thus ceded the top spot in the qualifiers to a perfect Argentina (9 points), while Uruguay remained in fourth position (4 points). Both coaches will have to make adjustments, in the case of the charrúas to improve a defensive zone that at times leaked against the Colombians in Barranquilla, and in the case of the "scratch" in effectiveness in the opposing goal.

Against Venezuela, the Brazilian forward did not show their best face ("we failed in things we shouldn't have failed," said Díniz after the match), but it is made up of players who are among the most coveted on the planet like Vinicius and Neymar. Bielsa is expected to take precautions against them, even though it is not in his philosophy of play to assign man marks.

Uruguay will once again have the full-back Matías Viña available, after serving a one-match suspension, who is currently performing well in Italian football, and the Napoli defender Mathías Olivera, who had a great performance (including a goal) in Colombia, could join a defense line that would also see the return of the Napoli defender Mathías Olivera, who had a great performance (including a goal) in Colombia.

Díniz will not be able to count on the defender Danilo, who got injured against Venezuela and joins the defensive absences that Brazil already had for physical reasons (including Vanderson, a "natural" substitute for Danilo). On Saturday, the 'seleção' arrived in Montevideo, where the right-back for English club Tottenham, Emerson Royal, had arrived the night before.

The legendary Centenario Stadium will be packed to see the celestial team of Bielsa play for the second time in official matches at home, which excites the fans and will try to break a very negative streak against the Brazilians. Uruguay's last victory was in 2001, and since 2017 they have only suffered defeats.

The overall history between both teams clearly favors the five-time world champions (38 wins out of 78 matches played, against 20 victories for Uruguay), although the balance is more even when considering only official matches (17 Brazilian victories and 11 Uruguayan victories in 41 matches).

Which channels will broadcast the match between Uruguay vs. Brazil?

According to the TV broadcast rights for the 2026 qualifiers in each South American country, these are the channels that will broadcast the match between Uruguay vs. Brazil: AUF TV, Antel TV, and DIRECTV Sports if you're in Uruguay; Rede Globo and SporTV if you're in Brazil. We also recommend not searching for it on Fútbol Libre TV, a pirate stream.
