The Copa America format
The Copa America features twelve teams divided into three groups of four, with the top two from each group plus the two best third-placed teams advancing to the knockout rounds. The tournament runs for approximately three weeks in June and July.
The group stage carries eighteen matches across the three groups, with the knockout rounds adding another eight matches through to the final. The twenty-six-match tournament compresses a full international competition into a short window.
The competition's mix of South American and invited nations - including teams from CONCACAF and other confederations - creates a genuinely international tournament that bridges the gap between the World Cup cycles.
