Copa America final heats up as Argentina faces Colombia. How to watch the match in South Florida
MIAMI — The Copa America final this weekend will pit Lionel Messi and Argentina against James Rodriguez and Colombia.
With tickets going for well beyond $1,500 and the list of watch parties continuing to grow, the match is becoming monumental for South Florida.
Whether you can make the game in person or watch the comfort of your living room, there are plenty of ways to catch what is becoming one of the biggest soccer matches this year.
How to watch
The final kicks off Sunday at 8 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. If you were lucky enough to snag tickets, gates open at 4 p.m. However, Miami-Dade Police said there will be no watch parties allowed outside the stadium or in the parking lots. Also, a clear bag policy will be in effect and officials said you should use Google Maps or Waze for traffic and road closure information when heading to the stadium.
For fans who purchased parking passes but did not get a game ticket may be able to receive a refund from Ticketmaster by calling (800) 653-8000 or reaching out through the chat feature on their accounts before 2 p.m. Sunday.
If you plan on staying home for the match, you can catch it on Fox (Channel 7 for the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area; Channel 29 for the West Palm Beach area) on your TV or stream it on Fubo.
