How long is the new FIFA window and when does it end?

The new Super FIFA window merges the September and October dates into a 16-day block, almost twice the norm.

The break began on Monday and runs until 6 October. According to Globo.com, Brazil play three friendlies, Australia on 25 in Townsville and 29 in Brisbane, then India on 3 October in Kolkata.

For his first matches since the World Cup, Carlo Ancelotti called 11 Brazil-based players. Corinthians supplied three and Flamengo two, with six other clubs represented.

Among other South American sides, only Chile have no Brazil-based call-ups. The rest include 29 players from Brazilian clubs.

Argentina also play three times, all at home. They face Bolivia in Córdoba on 30 September, then Burkina Faso on 3 October and Benin on 6 October at the Monumental de Núñez, Lionel Messi’s farewell.

In Europe, the window launches the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League, four rounds across two weeks. France under Zinedine Zidane meet Türkiye on 25, Belgium on 28, Italy on 2 October and Belgium again on 5.

On 24 September, the Netherlands led by Xavi host Jürgen Klopp’s Germany in Amsterdam.

Reigning champions Portugal start under Jorge Jesus against Wales on 24 in Lisbon, then meet Norway twice and Denmark. Spain stay with Luis de la Fuente and open against Thomas Tuchel’s England on 26 at Wembley.

Spain’s first home game after the World Cup is Croatia in Seville on 29 September. They also face the Czech Republic and Croatia again, while England meet the Czechs twice and the Croats once.
