Brazil military recruitment 2026‑2027

In late July 2026 Brazil was finalising its mandatory enlistment for 18‑year‑old males born in 2008. The deadline of 30 June required online registration through the Army’s portal, with local events in cities such as Indaiatuba and Limeira providing guidance on the process and related job‑training opportunities.

A few days later the Brazilian Army announced the next phase of recruitment for 2027. It detailed competitive examinations for entry into the Army’s cadet and engineering schools, scheduled between July and September, and opened a selection for 355 seats in military high schools across 14 cities. Applications begin in mid‑August, with fees waived for low‑income families.

Together, the snapshots show a continuous rollout of Brazil’s annual military enrollment cycle, moving from the closing of the 2026 mandatory draft to the preparation of competitive exams and school placements for the following year.
