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.

 

It is 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.
