Is Brazil vs Egypt on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch World Cup warm-up clash

Brazil meet Egypt as both finalise their preparations ahead of this summer’s World Cup.

It will be the Selecao’s second warm-up game after thrashing Panama 6-2 at the Maracana, though the win wasn’t without a scare, with a Matheus Cunha’s own goal cancelling out Vincius Jr’s early opener within the first 15 minutes.

Egypt, meanwhile, edged past Russia last Thursday thanks to Mostafa Ziko’s second-half goal, keeping confidence high for the Pharaohs.

The clash at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland will be the final tune-up before both begin their World Cup campaigns.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Brazil vs Egypt?

Brazil’s clash with Egypt kicks off at 11pm BST on Saturday 6 June at Huntingdon Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the UK can stream the match on ITVX.

Team news

Brazil are without record-goalscorer Neymar as he recovers from a calf problem, but Champions League final trio Marquinhos, Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli could be in contention after reporting for training earlier this week.

Egypt came through their clash with Russia unscathed and could be set to welcome captain Mohamed Salah into the fold, who missed that outing.

Predicted line-ups

Brazil XI: Alisson; Wesley, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Sandro; Casemiro, Guimaraes; Raphinha, Paqueta, Vinicius Jr; Thiago.

Egypt XI: El Shenawy; Hany, Fathy, Ibrahim, Fotouh; Lasheen, Ateya; Salah, Ashour, Trezeguet; Marmoush.
