COPA AMERICA 2024 FORMAT
This summer, the 16-team tournament will begin with four groups of four teams. After each team has played their group opposition once, the top two will advance.

During the group phase, teams earn three points for a win, one for a draw, and zero if they lose. If you're anti-draw, we advise you to wait until the knockout stage, where there must be a winner. If the scores are tied after 90 minutes, extra time is used, and if the scores are still level after two 15-minute halves, the match will be decided using penalty kicks.

The knockout stage consists of three rounds: the quarter-finals, semi-final and final, one fewer round than the European Championship. In the quarter-final stage, teams that finished top of their group will play against a team that finished second. If a team progresses past that stage, they will play the semi-final. If they're successful there, the July 14 final awaits.

** This summer, across 12 American cities and 14 stadiums, South America's finest — including Brazil, Uruguay and a Messi-led Argentina — will compete again to take the title of 'Champions of South America (and Others)'.

This year, the final will be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, home of the Miami Dolphins. It will be one of 14 stadiums used for the tournament across 12 cities: East Rutherford, Orlando, Charlotte, Atlanta, Kansas City, Arlington, Houston, Austin, Glendale, Las Vegas, Inglewood and Santa Clara.
