How to watch the Copa America 2019 Final: Brazil vs Peru
Hosts Brazil play Peru in the Copa America Final tonight; Argentina finished third
Home team Brazil face Peru in the 2019 Copa America Final tonight.
The game is at the famous Maracana Stadium in Brazil at 9m BST on Premier Sports.
Peru convincingly defeated last edition’s finalists Chile 3-0 to make their first Copa America Final in 44 years.
Meanwhile, the home team will be hoping to win the coveted trophy they last won in 2007. They will undoubtedly start as favourites given the strength of their squad, most of whom represent some of the bigger European football teams.
Last edition’s finalists – Colombia and Argentina – played for third place last night. Sergio Aguero and Paolo Dybala scored for Argentina, who maintained their lead despite Arturo Vidal’s second-half goal for defending champions, Colombia.
The main talking point of the game was Lionel Messi’s red card. The striker got sent off after an on-field altercation with Gary Medel, who was also sent off.
This is Messi’s first red card in 14 years, his first being his debut international game. Messi has never had a red card while playing for Barcelona.
This is the 46th edition of the tournament organised by the South American Football Confederation and will be the last Copa America to be held in an odd-number year.
From 2020, the competition will follow the same calendar as UEFA’s European Championship.

Sky and Virgin TV customers can add the channel to their existing package for £9.99 a month. Alternatively, you can buy the season ticket, which costs £99 annually, saving you £21 if you have Sky TV.

This costs $4.99 per month and comes with a seven-day trial for new customers, which means you can watch the knockout stages of the Copa America without paying a penny if you subscribe to the service in time.

Even better, you can use the service on a laptop, desktop, phone, table, streaming stick or gaming console.

How to watch Copa America 2019 anywhere in the world: use a VPN
If you’re travelling outside your country and want to watch Copa America, then your best option is to use a VPN service to virtually spoof your location to the country you want. Paid VPN services are always better because they don’t have any caveats like limited bandwidth or annoying ads and pop-ups. VPNs also protect all your browsing traffic to shield you from advertisers, hackers and even your ISP.

Here’s how to watch the Copa America 2019 using a VPN
1. Get a VPN (we recommend ExpressVPN because it’s the fastest and most reliable VPN we’ve tested for streaming live sports).
2. Connect to a UK server location.
3. Stream Copa America through Premier Sports (UK), ESPN+ (US) or any of the other services depending on where you live.
ExpressVPN is not only the best VPN we’ve ever used but also the fastest, meaning you can enjoy lag-free streams of the Copa America regardless of which country you stream the game from. You can install the VPN on all your devices and it has 24/7 customer support if you ever need any help.
We’ve teamed up with ExpressVPN to offer our readers a brilliant deal, where you get three months free if you sign up to the one-year plan. The service has a 30-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee, but we don’t think you’ll need to cancel at all.
Our second-favourite VPN is NordVPN. Like ExpressVPN it has support for a large range of devices, 24/7 customer support and a 30-day money-back guarantee, but its browsing speeds are slightly slower. You can also use it on up to six devices at a time, making it a useful VPN for your entire family or to share between a group of friends.
