Argentina will be looking to continue their impressive streak of trophies with another Copa America title bid in the USA this summer.
Lionel Scaloni's side pulled level with Uruguay in the all-time Copa America title list in 2021, as they beat arch rivals Brazil in the final in Rio de Janeiro, to clinch a 15th continental crown.
That was backed up by a first FIFA World Cup since 1986, in Qatar in 2022, as the inspirational Lionel Messi finally lifted the biggest trophy of them all in international football.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of their Copa America schedule, including how to watch their matches across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Argentina Copa America 2024 squad, player roster
Here is the full squad named for Argentina's pre-tournament friendlies. The squad has been trimmed to 26 players for the Copa America finals.
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has made the cut despite an injury-ruined season, although there is no place for Paulo Dybala. This could mean the Roma forward is earmarked for a place as one of Argentina's over-age players for the Paris Olympic games.
Ages, caps are correct as of May 20, 2024.

Argentina's predicted starting XI vs Canada
Argentina fans were sent into a panic as Messi missed their March friendlies through injury but their talismanic captain is back fit and firing at Inter Miami ahead of the tournament. There has not been a great deal of starting changes since their World Cup final win over France in December 2022.
Angel Di Maria is likely to be rotated during the competition, with Scaloni picking a front three from him, Messi, Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez and Alejandro Garnacho.
Argentina projected starting lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Martinez (GK) — Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Taglifico — De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister — Di Maria, Messi, Alvarez.
Argentina's Copa America record
The 2024 tournament could see a new outright leader at the top of the Copa America title charts, with Argentina and Uruguay battling for supremacy. Argentina's 2021 win ended 18 years of frustration, which included four final defeats.
