The 2024 Copa America had mixed outcomes for the 2026 World Cup co-hosts - Canada excelled, while Mexico and the United States faced early eliminations and coaching challenges. The Euro 2024 and Copa America semi-finals brought disappointment for players like Micky van de Ven and Rodrigo Bentancur. Despite the Copa America being hosted in the U.S., more Americans watched the European Championship, with FOX reporting significantly higher viewership for Euro 2024 over Copa America. FOX's Summer of Soccer saw major success, with Euro 2024 attracting over double the viewers compared to the Copa America on the network.
