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 will kick off the competition in a match against Canada on Thursday. 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, including a free Argentina vs. Canada live stream.

Where to watch Copa America in the US
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.
For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you're looking for. It's more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members get their first month for $25 off.
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.
Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it'll cost you extra.

Where to watch Copa America in Mexico
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, including Argentina vs. Canada. ViX also has a paid tier, which might be able to help Mexican viewers with the games that they can't find for free.
How to watch Copa America from anywhere
If you'll be outside of Mexico at game time, you can still access the above options using a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs allow you to alter your electronic device's virtual location so that you can keep up with your usual websites from anywhere. They're popular options for people looking to boost their online privacy and keep up with all their apps while traveling.
