Brazil are the team who have won the World Cup on the most occasions as we head into the 2026 finals.
Despite not winning the World Cup since they beat Germany 2-0 in the final of the 2002 tournament, Brazil's tally of five World Cup wins is yet to be surpassed.
Brazil won three World Cups between 1958 and 1970, with England's win on home soil in 1966 denying them four consecutive triumphs.
After a 24-year wait, Brazil lifted the trophy at the 1994 World Cup, before losing in the final to France four years later and regaining the trophy in Japan and South Korea in 2002.
Brazil are one of just eight nations to have won the biggest prize in international football.
Of those eight nations, six have won the World Cup more than once. The 1966 World Cup remains England's only triumph, while Spain are yet to add to their sole win in 2010.
Behind Brazil at the top of the list are Germany and Italy, who each have four wins apiece.
Argentina are next on the list after they captured their third trophy at the 2022 World Cup and they head into this summer's tournament as the defending champions.
France and Uruguay are the other multiple World Cup winners with two victories each.
