Is Brazil vs South Korea on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch World Cup fixture

Brazil will hope to keep their hopes of winning a sixth World Cup alive when they face South Korea on Monday night.

Their last success came 20 years ago though, and Tite is the man charged with ending that barren run - though they did win Olympic gold in Tokyo last year. Dani Alves captained that team to victory and he could well feature here too, given injuries in the defensive line.

Since South Korea finished fourth in 2002 they have never managed to get past the round of 16 and have not won more than a single game at any individual finals.

A victory here would be an upset indeed in Qatar, but would also see them rid themselves of both those millstones carried over the last two decades. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the round of 16 clash.

When is the match?

Brazil vs South Korea kicks off at 7pm GMT on Monday 5 December.

Where can I watch it?

This game will be broadcast live on ITV 1 and STV and can be streamed via the ITV X platform and STV player.

The Independent will be running a live blog for this and every other World Cup fixture.

Prediction

Brazil won’t have it all their own way but should still have too much firepower for their South Korea to deal with across 90 minutes. Brazil 2-1 South Korea.
