MIAMI — The Copa America final this weekend will pit Lionel Messi and Argentina against James Rodriguez and Colombia.

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.
