Does Endrick play today? Where to watch Scotland vs Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Endrick is experiencing a moment of ascension in the Brazilian team. The young striker, who has been gaining important minutes under the command of Carlo Ancelotti, should play a prominent role this Wednesday (24) against Scotland, at the Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami, in the third round of Group C of the 2026 World Cup.
With four points in the table, a draw with Morocco and a 3-0 victory over Haiti, Brazil needs a good result to guarantee first place in the group and a more favorable path in the knockout stages. Ancelotti has used Endrick as a reference in attack, exploiting his speed, finishing and ability to pivot.
The Italian coach has praised the young man’s rapport with Vinícius Júnior and other teammates, seeing him as one of the main names of the new generation who can decide important games. The presence of Neymar, who is returning from injury, should further enhance offensive actions alongside Endrick.
Ancelotti bets on Endrick’s youth against Scotland
The Brazilian strategy must prioritize quick transitions and vertical plays. Endrick, with his physical strength and eye for goal, appears as an option to hold the ball in attack and open spaces for midfielders and wingers. The likely formation has Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Rayan, Vinícius Júnior and Endrick or Matheus Cunha, with flexibility for adjustments during the match.

Scotland arrives with three points and dreams of qualifying as one of the best third-placed teams. The British team tends to defend well, but struggles against fast attacks — exactly the style that Endrick represents. Steve Clarke should maintain the 4-3-3 with Gunn in goal and names like McGinn, McTominay and Adams up front.
What the game represents for the future of the Seleção
In addition to the fight for the leadership of Group C, the clash serves as a laboratory for Ancelotti to test combinations with the new generation. Endrick, still young, has accumulated World Cup experience and could be decisive for Brazil to move forward with high morale. The stadium in Miami, with a strong presence of Brazilian fans, should boost the team.
Where to watch live
The match starts at 7pm (Brasília time) and will be broadcast on TV Globo, SporTV, Premiere, ge, CazéTV, SBT and platforms such as Disney+.
