LOS ANGELES (AP) - This June's Copa AmÃ©rica will be televised in the United States on Fox's networks.

The network said Tuesday it had reached a six-year agreement with the South American governing body CONMEBOL for English-language U.S. rights that include this year's tournament in Colombia and Argentina from June 13 to July 10 and the 2024 tournament, likely to be played in Ecuador.

ESPN+ had U.S. English-language rights to the Copa AmÃ©rica in Brazil.

Univision holds U.S. Spanish-language rights to this year's Copa AmÃ©rica.

In addition, Fox's deal includes the 2022, 2024 and 2026 Women's Copa AmÃ©rica, 2023 Women's World Cup qualifiers, 2024 men's and women's Olympic qualifiers, 2023 beach and futsol championships and the 2025 boy's Under-17 and men's Under-20 World Cup qualifiers.

It does not include U.S. rights to men's qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, which are held by fuboTV.
