How to watch Brazil vs Norway: live stream the World Cup 2026 Round of 16 on July 5th from anywhere
Brazil and Norway meet in a knockout clash that will send one nation home and the other to the quarterfinals. Brazil, the five-time champions hunting their first title since 2002, topped Group C before edging Japan 2-1 in the Round of 32 with a 95th-minute winner from Gabriel Martinelli. Norway, led by Erling Haaland and making history with their first-ever World Cup knockout win over Ivory Coast, enter as the only team Brazil have never beaten – a record of two wins and two draws across four meetings, including a famous 2-1 upset in the 1998 World Cup group stage.
Every match streams live and free in English on BBC iPlayer and ITVX in the UK and on SBS On Demand in Australia. These broadcasters geo-block streams outside their home country, so you need a VPN to watch from abroad. We recommend NordVPN for reliable unblocking, fast HD streaming, and broad device support across all three broadcasters.

Brazil fans can watch free on CazeTV's YouTube channel in Portuguese (all 104 matches in 4K), while BBC iPlayer and SBS On Demand carry the match free in English with a VPN.

Brazil vs Norway live coverage
Use any valid UK postcode at signup – try SW1A 1AA (Buckingham Palace) or EC1A 1BB (St. Paul's Cathedral). The broadcaster checks the postcode format, not your billing address. SBS On Demand requires an Australian postcode – try 2000 (Sydney CBD).
Why you need a VPN to watch Brazil vs Norway
FIFA licenses World Cup broadcast rights on a country-by-country basis, so free broadcasters like CazeTV, BBC iPlayer, and SBS On Demand geo-block their streams outside Brazil, the UK, and Australia. If you try to watch from abroad, you'll see an error message blocking access.
A VPN changes your virtual location by routing your connection through a server in the broadcaster's home country, so the service recognizes you as in-region and unlocks the free stream. This also helps travelers and expats keep access to their paid home broadcaster (Fox Sports, TSN, beIN, SuperSport) while abroad. See our best VPN for streaming guide for more on how VPNs work with sports. If you're a Brazil fan looking for local coverage, check out our best VPN for Brazil recommendation.

Match preview
How Brazil and Norway got here
Brazil topped Group C with two wins and a draw before coming from behind to beat Japan 2-1 in the Round of 32. Gabriel Martinelli sealed the win with a 95th-minute strike, the latest goal in a 90-minute World Cup knockout match. The five-time champions have not lifted the trophy since 2002, but under Carlo Ancelotti they are building momentum. Vinícius Júnior has been Brazil’s main attacking threat, while Bruno Guimarães leads the tournament assist chart with four.
Norway finished second in Group I with six points before earning their first-ever World Cup knockout win, beating Ivory Coast 2-1 in the Round of 32. Antonio Nusa opened the scoring, and Erling Haaland struck the 86th-minute winner. Haaland now has five goals at the tournament and has reached 60 international goals for Norway.
The unbeaten record
Norway remain a rare historical problem for Brazil. Brazil have never beaten them in senior men’s football, with the record standing at two Norway wins and two draws across four meetings: 1-1 in 1988, Norway’s 4-2 friendly win in 1997, Norway’s 2-1 World Cup win in 1998, and a 1-1 friendly in 2006.
The Neymar dilemma
Neymar has returned to the Brazil squad after fitness issues but has played only 14 minutes at the tournament, coming off the bench against Scotland. He did not feature in the Round of 32 win over Japan. With Lucas Paquetá carrying a thigh injury, Ancelotti may need to adjust his midfield, while Endrick could be used as an attacking option.
Gabriel vs Haaland
The key individual battle is Gabriel Magalhães against Erling Haaland. The Arsenal defender and Manchester City striker know each other well from the Premier League, and their duel could be central to whether Norway can hurt Brazil on the counterattack.
