Me and my brother are confirming next year together Is is possible that our older brother be sponsor for both of us or do we each have to have our own sponsors?

Sponsors could be for every person in the church if they wished. Logistically, just make sure you and your brother (whoses also being confirmed) stand together to make it easy on the Bishop.
One person can be the sponsor for multiple candidates, but there may be practical reasons why your parish would prefer that each candidate has his or her own sponsor. Ask at your parish to see what their practice is.
When I was teaching Confirmation Classes for high-school students, a suggestion for a sponsor which I thought was great was for the candidate to ask one of their Godparents to be their sponsor for Confirmation, if that’s possible ?
After all, they stood up for you in Baptism, why not Confirmation ?
