The knockout round of the 2024 Copa America officially kicks off tonight in Houston, and just as they did with the tournament as a whole, reigning champions Argentina will open the round with a July Fourth tilt against Ecuador.
As the stage name implies, the winners here will continue on to next week’s semifinals while the losing team will be eliminated from the tournament; this means there will be no more draws and tied games will continue into a penalty kick shootout to determine a winner.
Tonight’s game airs on FOX, but Sling TV and DIRECTV Stream will carry the game at a discount or free entirely for new subscribers who want to tune in to watch Argentina and Ecuador in the knockouts.

How to watch Argentina vs. Ecuador for free:
There’s still more than five days of Copa America left, but if you want to watch some of it for free, DIRECTV Stream offers a five-day free trial for new subscribers. When the trial is over, you’ll pay $79.99/month for over 90 live channels.
Other ways to stream Argentina vs. Ecuador:
If you’re planning on watching more than one match, then the most cost-effective way to stream the entire 2024 Copa America is without using a free trial. They run at most seven days and then cost a decent sum to keep the subscription even for just a month. With this option, you won’t get any days for free, but you’ll only spend $23.
Sling TV’s Blue plan includes FS1; right now, you can get your first month for 50% off. Instead of $45, you’ll pay $22.50 — and all you’ll need is one month of Sling to watch the entire tournament through the July 14 final match.
