It’s a great time to be a fan of international soccer; just one week after the 2024 UEFA European Championship kicked off, the Copa America is about to begin.
Teams from 16 North and South American countries will descend on the United States for three weeks of soccer in 14 cities across 10 states.

This includes, of course, the United States Men’s National Team, but also the reigning Copa America champions: Argentina. Lionel Messi leads the team, who are again a favorite to take home the championship. Messi, who will turn 37 during the tournament, has hinted that this could be his last appearance in an Argentinian kit, though nothing has been decided for certain yet.
All we know is this: Messi and Argentina will open the tournament tonight, June 20, against Canada.

How to watch the 2024 Copa America for free:
Three live TV streaming services have free trials and include all of the channels you’ll need to watch the Copa America.
fuboTV

Hulu + Live TV

DIRECTV Stream
- Monthly price: starts at $79.99/month; Ultimate plan ($109.99/month) is the only one that includes FS2

Other ways to watch the Copa America 2024 without cable:
Though the word free certainly is appealing, the most cost-effective way to stream the Copa America is without taking advantage of a free trial at all.
Sling TV’s Blue plan includes both FOX and FS1 among its 44 total channels, and right now, you can score your first month for 50% off. Instead of $45, you’ll pay $22.50 — and all you’ll need is one month of Sling to watch the entire tournament (and you can watch the 2024 Euro while you’re at it).
However, if you want FS2 as well (only three games in the group round air there), you’ll have to get Sling Blue + Sports Extra. For an additional $11/month, you’ll get a whopping 19 additional sports channels including S2.
Even with that, your monthly total will only come out to $33.50.
