How to watch Copa America 2021 for free: Live stream Brazil vs Argentina in the Copa America 2021 Final
Watch Brazil vs Argentina in the Copa America 2021 Final tonight
It’s the final we were all hoping for. Hosts and defending champions Brazil take on arch-rivals Argentina in the Copa America 2021 Final. Kickoff is at 1am BST tonight – Sunday, 11 July 2021.
UK viewers will be pleased to know that BBC has secured rights to broadcast the entire tournament, which means that you can watch Brazil vs Argentina in the Copa America 2021 Final live on BBC Red Button and stream the game for free on BBC iPlayer. If you’re travelling abroad during the Final, then you can access iPlayer using a good VPN service, like ExpressVPN.
Brazil defeated Peru 1-0 to progress to the Final, while Argentina defeated Colombia in the penalty shootout after both teams scored one goal each in regulation time.
When these South American football giants lock horns, there’s never any dearth of content, but this time the spotlight will shine the brightest on one man: Lionel Messi. Despite winning a cabinet full of trophies at an individual and club level with Barcelona, Lionel Messi’s national-trophy cabinet remains bare – something he will want to rectify in Sunday’s Final as he goes up against familiar foes and former comrade, Neymar.
Despite being regarded as one of the best sides in world football, Argentina haven’t won the Copa America trophy since 1993.

How to watch Copa America 2021 for free in the UK: BBC iPlayer

Unlike the Euro 2020, games won’t be broadcast live on BBC channels, but you’ll be able to watch every game via the BBC Red Button if you’re watching on TV.

How to watch Copa America 2021 anywhere in the world: Use a good VPN service
With travel restrictions slowly easing out in the UK because of the accelerated vaccination programme and lower daily corovanirus cases, it’s likely you could be travelling abroad during the month-long tournament. If that’s the case, then you don’t need to worry because you’ll be able to access BBC iPlayer from abroad by simply using a good VPN service.
A VPN basically tricks your device into thinking that it’s based anywhere in the world that you want. You can then use this to stream content that geo-blocked in your location. Apart from accessing content that’s not available where you live, a good VPN service also protects your device by encrypting all your browsing traffic so that no one – not even your ISP – will know what you do when you go online.
While there are many free and paid-for VPN services, not all of them will give you access to BBC iPlayer from abroad. We’ve narrowed down our two favourite VPN services that do this regardless of where you live.
