Fox Sports Presents 'Summer of Soccer' with Copa América and UEFA Euro 2024

Soccer enthusiasts can anticipate a thrilling summer as Fox Sports unveils its coverage of Copa América and UEFA Euro 2024, offering 78 matches over 30 days of non-stop action.

New York – Fox Sports is gearing up for an exciting summer of soccer, with the coveted Copa América and UEFA Euro 2024 tournaments set to grace its platforms. From June 14 to July 14, soccer fans will be treated to a relentless stream of high-stakes matches as part of Fox Sports' "Summer of Soccer."

For the first time, Fox Sports will serve as the exclusive broadcaster of UEFA Euro, expanding its reach and providing comprehensive coverage of the tournament in the United States. Additionally, Fox Sports will enhance its Copa América coverage, bringing the intensity and excitement of South American soccer to a broader audience.

Fox Sports will showcase an impressive 78 matches over a 30-day period, ensuring that soccer enthusiasts can indulge in non-stop action. UEFA Euro matches, hosted in Germany, will commence at 9 a.m. ET, 12 p.m. ET, and 3 p.m. ET, while Copa América matches will captivate viewers during the afternoon and evening time slots in the United States.

At the helm of Fox Sports' UEFA Euro and Copa América studio coverage is veteran analyst Alexi Lalas. Accompanying Lalas will be Stu Holden, Fox Sports' lead match analyst for Copa América and studio analyst for UEFA Euro.

Lalas and Holden have meticulous preparation strategies in place to tackle the marathon of matches effectively. "From a studio perspective, it's the same preparation that you've done – kind of times two," Lalas explained to Fox News Digital. "I think you just have to, at some point, come to the realization that you're going to have to be able to adjust on the fly as you go."

Lalas emphasizes the importance of extensive research, including game viewing and in-depth team analysis, to ensure they are well-versed in the intricacies of the competing nations.

Holden, as a commentator, believes his primary responsibility lies in enhancing the viewer's experience without detracting from the game's flow. "I guess for me, the nice thing is that now, having done this and this being nine, 10 years of broadcasting, you end up with kind of this built-in knowledge of every tournament," Holden said.

He stresses the value of studying game footage, pronunciations, tactics, and nuances to provide viewers with insightful commentary. Holden believes that less is often more in the latter stages of the tournament, allowing the action on the field to take center stage.

UEFA Euro 2024 will kick off on June 14, with Italy, the reigning champions, aiming to defend their title. Copa América, on the other hand, will commence on June 20, with Argentina, the defending champions, seeking to maintain their dominance.

Fox Sports' comprehensive coverage of the "Summer of Soccer" will be available on its various platforms, including television, streaming, and digital channels. Soccer fans can stay up-to-date on all the latest news, scores, and highlights by following Fox News Digital's sports coverage and subscribing to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
