This will be only the second time Copa Amérca has been held outside of South America since the inaugural tournament in 1916.
"These venues are world-class and have passionate fans who are renowned for getting behind major events," CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani said in a statement.
CONMEBOL and CONCACAF announced last November that the June 20 opening game will be at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, while South Florida's Hard Rock Stadium landed the final.
Copa América is expanding in 2024, with six teams from North America joining the usual 10 nations from South America that compete for the continental championship. The format mirrors the Copa América Centenario in 2016, the only previous time the tournament was staged outside of South America.
"We will experience an unforgettable Copa América, enjoying the best football in the world in 14 magnificent stadiums," said Alejandro Dominguez, the president of CONMEBOL.
For the 2024 edition, the CONMEBOL regulars will be joined by six CONCACAF qualifiers. The host United States, Mexico, Jamaica and Panama earned their spots by winning in the Nations League quarterfinals, while March 23 playoff games matching Costa Rica vs. Honduras and Canada vs. Trinidad and Tobago will determine the final two entrants.
Two group-round games each will be played at MetLife Stadium (June 25 and 27); Hard Rock Stadium (June 23 and 29); Exploria Stadium (June 29 and July 1); Mercedes-Benz Stadium (the June 20 opener and June 27); AT&T Stadium (June 21 and 23); NRG Stadium (June 22 and 24); Q2 Stadium (June 20 and July 2); State Farm Stadium (June 28 and 30); Allegiant Stadium (June 26 and 28); SoFi Stadium (June 24 and 26) and Levi's Stadium (June 22 and July 2).
Two groups games will also be played in the Kansas City area: June 25 at Children's Mercy Park and July 1 at Arrowhead Stadium.
MetLife Stadium, NRG Stadium, Levi’s Stadium and State Farm Stadium are the only returning stadiums from the 10 venues that were used for Copa América Centenario, though games also were held in Orlando (Camping World Stadium) and the Los Angeles area (Pasadena's Rose Bowl).
The final won by Chile over Argentina on penalty kicks — Lionel Messi memorably left the field in tears after putting his attempt over the crossbar — was played at MetLife Stadium outside of New York City.
Except for the Centenario tournament, Copa América hosting duties usually have rotated among the 10 COMNEBOL nations in South America. The arrangement called for Ecuador to host in 2024, but that country backed out because of security issues.
The U.S. stepped in to fill the void under a new partnership between CONMEBOL and CONCACAF.
Eight of the 14 stadiums for Copa América have already been picked as venues for the 2026 World Cup, while be hosted by the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
They are: MetLife Stadium, Hard Rock Stadium, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Levi's Stadium, SoFi Stadium, AT&T Stadium, NRG Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium.
Some of those venues could also be in the running for another major tournament that will be staged in the U.S. in 2025 — the expanded Club World Cup featuring 32 teams.
Montagliani said holding two major competitions ahead of the World Cup will "cement our region as a global hub for football."
