Copa America is back for another year of competition that will see the best national soccer teams of North and South America play for the championships. Below, we've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Copa America.
First held in 1916, the CONMEBOL Copa America is the world's oldest continental-based, still-running soccer competition. It is centered around South America but has come to include North American teams through CONCACAF, as well as the occasional Asian team invitee (none will compete this year, but Japan and Qatar have participated in the past).
Returning champions Argentina are tied with Uruguay for the most wins, at 15 titles each, and kicked off the competition with a win against Canada. Argentine superstar Lionel Messi will take a break from his duties with Inter Miami and return to his home team to attempt to lead them to another championship. The competition will run now until the final on July 14.
No matter what team you hope to watch, we'll show you how to tune in from home. Keep reading to learn all of your watch options.
Copa America matches will be spread across Fox, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), and Fox Sports 2 (FS2) in the US. If you don't have cable, it might be time to explore a Fox-friendly live TV service like Sling TV or Fubo.
For Sling TV, you'll need to subscribe to the Sling Blue plan (for $40 a month) and opt for the Sling Blue Sports Extra add-on (for an additional $11 a month). This will get you access to FS1 and FS2. Sling Blue also comes with Fox in select areas. You should input your zipcode before subscribing to see if your region can get the channel. You can also check out Sling's local channels guide for a regional breakdown. This total package will cost you $51 a month, but Sling is usually running a promo for new users that can knock some money off your first month.
Fubo is another solid live TV option that offers Fox, Fs1, and Fs2. As always, you should check to ensure the channels you want are available in your region, but Fubo offers pretty broad Fox coverage. Subscriptions cost $79.99 a month, but new users can get a one-week week free trial.
Copa America is available on TSN in Canada. Subscriptions start at $19.99 a month. This is also the Canadian home of the ongoing Euros.
Copa America streams on Premier Sports in the UK. Subscriptions start at £10.99 a month.
Copa America streams on Optus Sport in Australia. Subscriptions start at $24.99 a month. You can also catch the Euros here, so it's a solid service for Australian soccer fans.
Copa America streams on Globoplay in Brazil. Some matches might be available to stream for free down the line, but Globoplay otherwise requires a subscription. Subscriptions start at R$54,90 a month (which is about $10 in USD).
Copa America coverage is spread across multiple services in Mexico, including TelevisaUnivision (streamed through ViX) and TV Azteca (on Azteca 7). Both of these are Spanish-language options that will stream select games for free throughout the tournament. ViX also has a paid tier, which might be able to help Mexican viewers with the games that they can't find for free.
If you'll be traveling away from home during any of the Copa America matches, you can keep up with your usual streaming methods using a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs allow you to temporarily change your device's virtual location so that you can access your usual websites and apps from anywhere. Since the services we've highlighted require country-specific forms of payment, this option will be best for people who are simply traveling away from home and hoping to access their existing subscriptions.
If this sounds like a good fit, we recommend trying ExpressVPN. It's a straightforward VPN with a 30-day money-back guarantee. For additional details, check out our ExpressVPN review.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
