Canada’s historic run at the 2024 Copa América continues tonight, with a semifinal match against Argentina. Starting at 8 p.m. ET, Team Canada will be taking on the tournament’s heavy favourites, led by Lionel Messi.

For Canada, the 2024 tourney marks the first time that they’ve even advanced to the knockout stage, making Tuesday another historic opportunity for this young and talented squad led by Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David. Both teams got through in the quarterfinals in true nail-bitter fashion with penalty shootouts, as Canada beat Venezuela and Argentina beat Ecuador.

This won’t be the first time Canada and Argentina will meet this tournament. They started off in the same group stage, with Argentina securing a 2-0 win in their opener. However, much of the conversation after the match surrounded racist remarks that Canadian defender Moïse Bombito received, after a tackle on Messi created outrage among Argentinian fans. The comments have since been condemned by Canada and CONCACAF.

Amid all the anticipation for this match, it’s expected that millions of Canadians will tune in. Luckily for us, there are a couple options to make sure you don’t miss all of tonight's action.
