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

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

Is there a free Copa America 2024 live stream?

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.

Watch the Copa America 2024 live stream on Sling TV

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.

Watch the Copa America 2024 live stream from abroad

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.

According to a report by Puck News, the New Zealand-based platform has been exploring a potential sale, attracting interest from several major entertainment companies, including Netflix, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Paramount Skydance.

While no deal has been confirmed, the discussions highlight how valuable online fan communities have become as streaming platforms compete not just for viewers, but also for the audiences that influence what people watch next.

Watching Disney+ without paying for a subscription could eventually become an option. According to Business Insider, Disney is considering a free tier that would let people watch some content without a paywall.

The idea is still in the early stages, with no timeline or launch details, but it reflects a growing challenge. YouTube and other free, ad-supported platforms like Tubi and Roku are attracting more TV viewers, forcing streaming services to rethink how they compete.

Netflix has spent years telling the entertainment industry that binge-worthy originals and a simple user experience were enough to stay ahead. That strategy helped make it the world's biggest streaming service. But according to a Wall Street Journal report, the company is increasingly concerned about a different metric: engagement.

While Netflix continues to post healthy profits and retains one of the lowest subscriber cancellation rates in the industry, executives are reportedly seeing early signs that people are spending less time watching content. That matters because engagement - not just subscriber numbers - has become one of the biggest indicators of whether customers will stick around, watch ads, and continue paying for the service.
