The 48th edition of the Copa America will showcase the top talents from two continents in 14 venues across the U.S. for nearly a month of competition. Ten CONMEBOL teams from South America and six CONCACAF teams from North America, Central America and the Caribbean will match up in an event most recently won in 2021 by Argentina and Lionel Messi, who is back for another run.
Before the first ball is kicked, here is how, where, and what to watch during the American soccer summer:The opening match is June 20 in Atlanta, where Argentina will take on Canada. The 16 teams will play in the group stage until July 2, with two matches almost every day. The quarterfinals are July 4-6 in Houston; Arlington, Texas; Las Vegas; and Glendale, Arizona.
One star won't be shining stateside: Brazilian great Neymar, who hasn't played since October due to a knee injury.On paper, this doesn't appear to be the year when a CONCACAF team will break through to win the Copa America for the first time. That won't stop Mexico, the U.S., Canada, Jamaica, Costa Rica and Panama from attempting to make history.
