Copa America 2024 live stream: Can you watch for free?

We’re into the quarterfinals at Copa America 2024. It appears we’re on a collision course for a repeat of the 2021 final between Argentina and Brazil, but there are still some remaining contenders that will certainly have something to say about that. It’s been an exhilarating tournament thus far, but as we near the final in Miami on July 14, things are only set to get better.

In the United States, all the remaining matches will be televised in English on either Fox or Fox Sports 1, and in Spanish on TUDN and Univision. But if you don’t have cable, we’ve found all the best ways you can watch a live stream of Copa America 2024.

You can watch Copa America matches for free via any live-TV streaming service that has the necessary channels and a trial. That includes: Fubo (“Pro” channel package includes Fox, FS1, TUDN, and Univision), YouTube TV (“Base Plan” includes Fox, FS1, TUDN, and Univision) and DirecTV Stream (“Entertainment” package includes Fox, FS1 and Univision, but you’ll need to go up to “Ultimate” if you also want TUDN, though that isn’t necessary).

The Fubo free trial is seven days, while the others are both five. As such, even if you’ve already used one of these streaming services before, you can space the other two out for a total of 10 free days (at least) of live TV, meaning you can watch every single remaining Copa America 2024 match without paying anything.

Fubo, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream all get pricey after their free trials. So, if you’ve already used up all those trials, and you’re simply looking for the cheapest way to watch a live stream of Copa America 2024 matches, Sling TV is the answer.

The “Sling Blue” channel package includes both Fox (live in select markets) and Fox Sports 1. It’s normally $40 per month, but it’s currently on sale for just $20 for your first month, which is far cheaper than any other live-TV streaming service with these channels.

It’s important to note that Fox is only available live in a few markets across the United States, and the final will be on Fox, so you’ll want to be careful if you’re considering this option. However, you could also potentially get your local Fox channel with an antenna, and then simply use Sling for all the other Fox Sports 1 matches.

All of the streaming services we just covered are US-only. However, if you use a virtual private network (VPN), you can hide your location/IP address and connect to a digital server in the United States. This allows you to access content as if you were physically located there, thus letting you watch Copa America matches on Fubo, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream or Sling from abroad.

There are a lot of good VPN’s out there (you can check out our guide to the best VPN services), but we would go with NordVPN. It’s safe, maintains fast streaming speeds and is easy to use, plus it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.

What is AV2, and why should viewers care?

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
