Where to watch Copa America on TV

The television broadcasts will be available on FOX, FS1, and FS2. For Spanish-language broadcasts, tune in to TUDN, UniMás, and Univision. FOX Sports will offer live streams of the matches, which can also be streamed on fubo. Additionally, Vix will provide a streaming option for Spanish-language broadcasts.

While Argentina has already secured a place in the final, Uruguay and Colombia have been the most impressive teams in the 2024 Copa America, scoring a combined 20 goals and allowing just three. Both teams have also posted wins against Brazil, highlighting their strength.

Uruguay faces some challenges heading into the semifinal, with coach Marcelo Bielsa dealing with uncertainties in defense. Key defenders Nahitan Nandez (suspended) and Ronald Araujo (injured) will be missing, leaving half of the backline in a 4-2-3-1 formation absent.

This puts extra pressure on Bielsa's attack, particularly Darwin Nunez. The offense struggled to score against Brazil, though they played with 10 men for the last 15 minutes of that match.

Colombia, on the other hand, is ready to exploit any defensive weaknesses. With 11 goals in the tournament, they are poised to take advantage of Uruguay's compromised defense. Former Real Madrid star James Rodriguez has been outstanding, scoring one goal and leading the tournament with five assists in four games. His creativity will be crucial against Uruguay's holding midfielders, Manuel Ugarte and Federico Valverde.

The last three meetings between Uruguay and Colombia have ended in regulation draws (0-0 and 0-0 in 2021, 2-2 in 2023), setting the stage for another closely contested match.
