BRAZIL AND FRANCE TO MEET IN INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY AT GILLETTE STADIUM ON MARCH 26, 2026
Global giants open the “Road to 26” with first international soccer match at Gillette Stadium in a decade.
Two of the most iconic national teams in global football will return to the United States when Brazil and France meet at Gillette Stadium on Thursday, March 26, 2026. The match will be part of Road to 26, a new series of international exhibitions leading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup™.
Tickets for the match will go on sale via Ticketmaster on Tuesday, January 13 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. Fans may register for exclusive pre-sale access at RoadTo26.com.
Road to 26 is co-promoted by Unified Events, Florida Citrus Sports (FCS), Pitch International and Lions Media, bringing elite national teams to major American venues throughout 2026.
Brazil and France share one of international football’s most compelling cross-continental rivalries. The teams have met 18 times, with France holding a narrow all-time edge (7 wins, 6 draws, 5 losses). Their most recent meeting came in June 2024, when France defeated Brazil 2–1 in Paris.
The upcoming clash will be the first international soccer match at Gillette Stadium since Copa América Centenario in 2016. The March 26 match will be France’s first-ever appearance at the venue, and Brazil’s sixth appearance in Foxborough all-time.
