2024 Copa América Group C

Group C of the 2024 Copa América was one of four groups in the first stage of the tournament. The tournament involved national teams from CONMEBOL (South America) but also includes invited teams from the CONCACAF region (North, Central America and the Caribbean), that qualified via the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League.[1]

The group was made up of the hosts United States from CONCACAF, Uruguay from CONMEBOL, Panama from CONCACAF, and Bolivia from CONMEBOL.[2] The draw for the groups was conducted on December 7, 2023, with the United States being previously seeded into the group.[3] The group's matches took place from June 23 to July 1 at six venues in six U.S. cities.[4]

The top two teams, following a round-robin of three matches per team, advanced to the quarter-finals.[5]
