USA can consider the 2024 Copa America as something of a dress rehearsal for the World Cup on home soil in 2026.
Gregg Berhalter’s side will have the chance next summer to host some of the world’s finest international teams and prove they can compete with the best in the game, as the likes of Argentina and Brazil travel to the States for the CONMEBOL tournament.
On Thursday, December 7, the USMNT will discover their opponents in the opening phase of the Copa America, when the group-stage draw takes place at 7:30 p.m. ET at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida.
Miami is where the final of the Copa America will take place on July 14 next year after a month-long competition in which USA will hope to pose a serious challenge to some of the international scene’s grandest sides.
Below is how the Group C schedule will look once all teams are confirmed, plus there is a bracket for the knockout rounds detailing how the fixtures might look from the quarterfinals onwards.
The Sporting News will update this page once the Copa America draw is completed.

Copa America 2024 Group C: Table, standings
Each Copa America group consists of four teams. These teams each play the other once in a round-robin format. The top two from each group will progress to the quarterfinals.
Teams are ranked by points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. Should teams be level on those three criteria, the head-to-head record between those nations is used as a tiebreaker.

Copa America 2024 Group C teams
USA
Hosts United States have a massive chance to increase their global profile ahead of the 2026 World Cup on home soil.
With no chance to contest CONCACAF World Cup qualifying this cycle as 2026 hosts, the Copa America represents their biggest opportunity to secure high-level competitive minutes against top international opposition in preparation for that massive tournament.
Additionally, this tournament represents a real chance to prove the United States have indeed grown into a global power ready to compete with the likes of Chile, Colombia, or even South American powers Argentina and Brazil.
With arguably the most talented squad in the nation’s history, much will be expected of the United States to perform in front of home fans on one of the world’s biggest stages.
