Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is back in action on Sunday, as his Brazil team takes on Panama in a pre-World Cup friendly.
Alisson has barely played for the Reds in recent weeks due to injury, making just 26 Premier League appearances during the 2025/26 campaign. The Brazilian's time in the treatment room saw backup goalkeepers Giorgi Mamardashvili and Freddie Woodman called upon.
Despite struggling with injuries, Alisson, 33, is fit and ready to go for Brazil at this year's World Cup. He's aiming to finally win the competition, having clinched several other honors, including two Premier League titles, the Champions League, and the Copa America. Without further ado, here's how you can watch Alisson in action on Sunday...

As no major channels have secured the fixture, there is no designated studio coverage or pre-match program start time available for audiences.
Given that mainstream domestic broadcasters are not covering the fixture, traditional British streaming applications and online platforms will not feature the match.
Nevertheless, international supporters seeking online access can look at global streaming services or verify whether official national federation digital platforms are transmitting the feed.
Supporters based across the United States can access the live broadcast via regional sports networks. The match is due to stream live on FOX Sports' official platforms, including the application, at 5:30pm ET and 2:30pm PT.
