Brazil play their final home match of their World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign on Thursday, as they take on a Chile team looking to avoid finishing rock bottom in the CONMEBOL standings.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world and how to use a VPN if the match isn’t available where you are.
Having safely guided the hosts to qualification back in March for next summer’s tournament in North America, Thursday’s match offers new Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti the chance to further ingrain his tactical style on his squad in what is essentially a dead rubber fixture.
They face a Chile team looking to regroup amid what has proved to be a disaster of a qualifying campaign. Defeats to Argentina and Bolivia in June meant La Roja failed to reach a World Cup for 20 years. That prompted Ricardo Gareca to step down as head coach in June, with former Bari midfielder Nicolas Cordova taking interim charge of La Roja for this fixture.
Brazil takes on Chile on Thursday at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, with kickoff set for 9:30 p.m. BRT local time in Brazil. That makes it an 8:30 p.m. ET or 5:30 p.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada, a 1:30 a.m. BST start in the UK and a 10:30 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Friday.
Barcelona’s Brazilian star Raphinha has been involved in 35 goals in 38 appearances for club and country in 2025, nothing up 19 goals and 16 assists.

How to watch Brazil vs. Chile from anywhere with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the World Cup qualifier action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. They can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

Quick tips for streaming Brazil vs. Chile using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming this match may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases, with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. Having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
