Copa America schedule: fixtures, kick-off times and where to watch

When is your team playing and how do you make sure you don’t miss the game? The Copa America runs over about a month, usually in June and July. The tournament starts with a group stage (three matchdays), then moves to knockouts — quarterfinals, semis and the final. Below you’ll find practical tips to read the schedule, convert times, and stream matches from anywhere.

How the schedule is laid out

Fixtures are published by CONMEBOL and updated if venues or kick-off times change. Expect three group matchdays spaced a few days apart, then a short break before the knockout rounds. Each match listing shows: date, local stadium, kick-off time (local), teams and TV/streaming partner. If you follow the schedule, focus on the local kick-off time and the city listed — that’s the time zone reference.

Convert kick-off times quickly

Want the correct start time in your city? Use one of these fast options: search the match name plus "kick-off time" in Google, add the stadium city to your phone’s world clock, or use the calendar link from the official fixtures page and let your device convert times automatically. For fans in Africa, remember matches listed in South American local time can be several hours behind — set a reminder 20 minutes before kick-off so you have time to tune in.

If the schedule shows a single time, it’s usually the host city time. For clarity, look for an "UTC" or "local" label. When broadcasters list times, they often show a regional schedule (e.g., GMT, CAT, EAT) — trust that for TV planning.

Broadcasting rights change by country. In many African markets, pay-TV platforms carry live games, while some rights holders offer online streaming. Check your national sports broadcasters first. If a stream is geo‑restricted, a VPN can help, but be aware of service rules and quality limits.

Want fixtures in your calendar? Grab the official calendar feed (ICS) from CONMEBOL or major sports sites and import it into Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. That way each match appears in your time zone and you can get push reminders.

Matchday tips: arrive early if you have tickets, follow stadium rules, and keep an eye on weather updates — sudden changes can shift kick-off times. For viewing at home, test your stream a day before the match to avoid last-minute buffering.
