The England national football team will host Brazil in a high-profile international friendly at the Wembley Stadium in England.

The England vs Brazil football friendly will start at 12:30 AM Indian Standard Time (IST) on Sunday, March 24. Live streaming and telecast of the match will be available in India.

Under manager Gareth Southgate, England will look to test themselves against a star-studded Brazilian outfit ahead of the marquee UEFA Euro 2024 to be held in June-July in Germany.

The Three Lions finished as runners-up in the previous edition of the UEFA European Football Championship after they lost to eventual champions Italy in the final in July 2021.

Having registered six wins and two draws, England have qualified for UEFA Euro 2024 after they finished on top of Group C qualifying standings with 20 points from eight matches.

On the other hand, the Brazil national football team are currently on a three-match losing streak and will look to turn things around.

Selecao have lost to arch-rivals Argentina (0-1), Colombia (1-2) and Uruguay (0-2) in their last three FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying matches.

With two wins, three losses and one draw, Brazil are placed sixth in the FIFA World Cup Conmebol standings with seven points from six matches.

Ahead of the marquee clash, England have added four uncapped players to their squad.

Kobbie Mainoo, Jarrad Branthwaite, Anthony Gordon and Ezri Konsa are the four new names in England’s squad.

Brazil will miss the services of several of their crucial players including the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ederson, Marquinhos and Casemiro due to injuries.

Additionally, star goalkeeper  Alisson Becker and former captain Neymar are also yet to recover from their injuries.

Vinicius Junior, Raphinha, Rodrygo, Richarlison, Gleison Bremer, and Bruno Guimaraes will look to step up for the visitors.

The last time these two sides met, England and Brazil played a goalless draw in an international friendly at the Wembley Stadium in England in November 2017.
