Where to Watch Copa América in India - 2024 Tournament
Copa América is the world's oldest international football tournament, and its 2024 edition - staged across fourteen American cities - delivered everything the competition promises: South American passion, generational talent, and drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Lionel Messi's Argentina arrived as defending champions after their transcendent 2021 triumph at the Maracanã, and Indian football fans who have watched Messi week after week in European football were treated to seeing him on the international stage's biggest South American platform.

Copa América broadcasting rights in India
Sony Sports Network secured Copa América 2024 for Indian viewers, continuing its strong portfolio of international football rights. The tournament attracted considerable interest in India thanks to the presence of globally recognised stars - Messi, Vinicius Jr., Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez - whom Indian fans follow closely in their respective European club competitions throughout the season.
Copa América 2024 will be remembered as Messi's crowning glory at international level: World Cup winner in 2022, Copa América champion in 2021 and again in 2024. For Indian football fans who grew up idolising Messi, watching him lift the trophy was a deeply emotional moment that resonated far beyond South America. Colombia's impressive unbeaten run to the final also captured global attention and Indian social media.
The time zone difference between India and the US (IST is 9.5–12.5 hours ahead of US Eastern time) meant most Copa América matches aired in Indian morning or afternoon hours - relatively convenient compared to European night football. The next Copa América is planned for 2028 in the US; broadcasting rights for India will be announced closer to the tournament.
