Brazil has won the World Cup five times, making it the most successful nation in tournament history.
The South American powerhouse won its first World Cup in 1958 and repeated as champions in 1962. Their next successes came in 1970, 1994 and 2002.
Five wins give Brazil a slender edge over Germany, which has won four World Cup titles. However, Brazil has struggled in recent tournaments since earning a title in 2002.
Only once since 2006 has Brazil reached the semifinals or beyond. That success came on home soil in 2014 with Brazil falling 7-0 to Germany in the semifinals.
After the horrific defeat, Brazil settled for fourth place.
The glass-is-half-full view of Brazil is a remarkably consistent record since ‘02. Brazil reached the quarterfinals every year since 2006, winning at least three matches every tournament.
World Cup odds price Carlo Ancelotti’s side at +800 to win the 2026 tournament. Bettors who believe Brazil continues its quarterfinal streak can get -110 odds.
