How to Watch a Copa America 2024 Match in Miami

Among the host cities, Miami will be the exclusive protagonist of the cup, as it will host not only two group matches, including one of Argentina, reigning champions of the tournament, but also the final of the tournament, which will be played at the Hard Rock Stadium on July 14.

If you don't want to miss out on the biggest football event in the USA, don't hesitate to buy Copa America tickets.

Tickets for all the matches of the Copa America 2024 are already on sale in Hellotickets. They are available in all price ranges, so keep in mind that the earlier you buy them, the cheaper they will be. Obviously, the seats you choose in each stadium also come into play.

However, bear in mind that Miami Gardens will host the final, the most important match of the competition, which usually has higher prices than the rest of the matches. That is why you will probably find much higher prices than in the group stage or in the quarter-final and semi-final matches. Here is all the information you need to experience the Copa America 2024.

How to get tickets for the Copa America 2024 in Miami?

It's very easy! Once you access the list of the teams playing the Copa America 2024 you just have to select your team and choose the match you prefer. But if what you like is the spectacle of football, sign up to watch the final of the Copa America in Miami. Of course, the teams are not yet known, but the show is on at the Hard Rock Stadium.

A total of three matches will be played at the Copa America 2024 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Two are in the opening zone and will pit Uruguay and Panama in Group C on 23 June and Argentina and Peru in Group A on 29 June. However, the highlight Miami has to offer is that its stadium will host the final, which will take place on 14 June.

The tournament schedule indicates that all matches at this venue, due to Miami's high summer temperatures, will be played at night. Uruguay-Panama will be at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, while Argentina and Peru and the final will be played at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Note that the Group A match between Uruguay-Panama will be the debut of both teams in the tournament and you will have the opportunity to see the Charrúa team, a historical Copa América cheerleader and one of the top winners with 15 trophies along with Argentina. On the other hand, the Argentina-Peru match is the last one in Group A, so it could be decisive for the qualification.

Hard Rock Stadium, the venue for the Final on 14 July

While Miami will host Group A and Group C matches and will surely welcome internationally renowned stars such as Federico Valverde of Uruguay and Lionel Messi of Argentina, who has been an illustrious resident of the city since he played for MLS club Inter Miami FC, the Hard Rock Stadium will be the venue for the Grand Final, which will determine the winner of the 48th edition of the Copa America.

This match will also include the closing ceremony and the final shows of the Copa America. At the end of the match, the champion's trophy and the first and second place medals will also be awarded to the participating teams.

Date and time of the Copa America matches in Miami

In addition to the final, Miami will host Group A and C matches and will host Argentina, Peru, Uruguay and Panama. While rosters are not yet available, a number of world-renowned stars are expected to appear at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Argentina

Argentina are the reigning Copa America and World Cup champions, making them one of the top contenders. In 2016 they lost the final against Chile, so they will be looking for revenge in the United States and they will do it with Lionel Messi as their flagship. Don't hesitate, buy your Argentina tickets and enjoy a very competitive match.

• Number of Copa America appearances... 43 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... 15 times champion, the last one in 2021.
• Last Copa América result... champion in the 2021 edition.

Peru

In the midst of a rebuilding process and having missed out on the 2022 World Cup, Peru will be looking to repeat their 1939 and 1975 titles. To do so, they will have a squad that combines young talent with experienced players. There is no doubt that Peru vs. Argentina is a great choice.

• Number of Copa América appearances... 33 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... 2 times champion, the last one in 1975.
• Last result in Copa América... quarter-finalist in the 2021 edition.

Uruguay

Uruguay is one of the great candidates, not only because they are among the top winners of the Copa America but also because since the arrival of Marcelo Bielsa as coach they have beaten many rivals. They are another team in the midst of a generational change and are likely to field a number of talented youngsters. At the Hard Rock Stadium, you can enjoy the Uruguay-Panama match.

• Number of Copa América appearances... 45 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... 15 times champion, the last one in 2011.
• Last Copa América result... quarter-finalist in the 2021 edition.

Panama

Panama is one of the tournament's Cinderella teams and in the 2024 edition they will be playing in their second Copa America and will be looking to qualify for the finals this time and repeat the continental feats that other CONCACAF teams have achieved in the past. To do so, they will have the experience of several players who play in MLS, so it may be interesting to buy tickets for Panama's match against Uruguay and see how they fare.

• Number of Copa America appearances... 1st edition.
• Best result in Copa America... first round, in 2016.
• Last Copa America result... first round in 2016.

Hard Rock Stadium will be the venue where the Copa America 2024 will be played in Miami. This stadium was inaugurated in 1987 and has undergone several renovations that have brought its current capacity up to 65,300 spectators. Throughout its history it has hosted American football, tennis, baseball, football and numerous recitals, as well as hosting the NFL Super Bowl six times.

As for the NFL, Hard Rock Stadium is home to the Miami Dolphins, one of the most popular football teams on the East Coast of the United States. It is also part of the Formula 1 calendar with the Miami Grand Prix. In the future, it will be one of the venues for the 2026 World Cup to be hosted by the USA along with Mexico and Canada.

The stadium is also located in Miami Gardens, north of South Beach, but with a wide range of buses to get there from the main points of the city. On the other hand, it has parking, so you can also arrive by rented car, which will be ideal if you plan to visit the city in three days or even less time and need to optimise the routes.

What are the best locations for Hard Rock Stadium?

Hard Rock Stadium is built on a 360° format base, so the view is clear from any part of the venue. Apart from that, the best locations are in sectors 101 to 256, while sectors 301 to 354 are in the upper section.

The disadvantage of the upper level of the stadium is that during rainy or extremely hot days, which are very frequent in Miami during the summer, the retractable roof of the stadium is usually closed to protect the attendees. This will prevent you from getting wet or suffering from the heat when enjoying your Copa America tickets, but it may create a sense of confinement, especially in the back seats.

How to get to the Hard Rock Stadium?

• By bus... you can get there from downtown Miami by combining services of bus lines 18, 20, 27, 95 and 100 for a journey time of approximately 2 hours.
• By car... you can get there via the I-95 Express highway in a journey time of approximately 45 minutes.

As usual, the most outstanding players of the tournament will be recognised and the organisers will present the Golden Glove, the Golden Shoe and the Golden Ball to the best goalkeeper, the top scorer and the best player respectively. The silver medals will then be awarded to the loser, followed by the trophy for the winning team.

The closing concert will probably feature several prominent artists singing the official song of the tournament. At the Copa America 2016, which was also held in the United States, Pitbull and Becky G were in charge of singing Superstar, which was the theme chosen to promote that tournament.

So far, the organisers of the Copa America 2024 have not given information about the artists who will participate in this event, but Capitán, the mascot of the tournament, was presented during the draw for the group stage.

When buying your Copa America tickets, keep in mind that the Copa America is one of the most important events of the year in the US sporting calendar:

• Copa America is one of the most important events of the year in the US sporting calendar, so I advise you to buy your tickets as far in advance as possible.
• Miami is one of the major cities in the United States and the America's Cup coincides with the local summer, so the influx of tourists can be high. This will not only make it difficult to get last-minute tickets, but also if you want to take part in the best tours of the city. That is why I advise you to book as far in advance as possible.
• Although Miami Gardens is a tourist hub, it is geographically far from South Beach, which is the epicentre of Miami, so if you are planning to attend a Copa America match, keep in mind that you will have to consider the time it will take to get there by public transport or the time you will need to find parking if you plan to travel by car.
• If you run out of tickets for the games at Hard Rock Stadium, keep in mind that Florida will also have games in Orlando, which will host Group A and Group C matches. This way, you can try to attend these games to enjoy the oldest national team championship in the world.
