European club competitions have been replaced by international friendlies and qualifiers this weekend, but there’s still plenty of action occupying televisions this weekend.

At the top of the list is the first meeting between Brazil and Chile since their dramatic World Cup round of 16 match that ended in penalties at the Estadio Mineirao in 2014. The rematch will take place at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium in London, with both teams calling up their top players.

Aside from settling grudges, the match also presents both teams with a high profile test in the build-up to this summer’s Copa America.

Qualification for the 2016 European Championships also takes center stage this weekend, starting with an important match in Group C between Spain and the Ukraine on Friday. England line up at Wembley against Lithuania in a Group E clash at the same time.

The Netherlands will hope to climb up the Group A table against Turkey. Just two wins and two losses have left the Dutch in third place, six points off of group leaders Czech Republic.

Finally, MLS action keeps rolling through the international break. The Chicago Fire and Philadelphia Union kick-off Sunday’s nationally televised action, followed by Real Salt Lake and Toronto FC later in the evening.

Here is this weekend’s soccer on TV (schedule after the jump):
