Group A is one of four groups in the first stage of the 2024 edition of Copa América, the premier soccer tournament for men's national teams representing countries in South America organized by CONMEBOL. The tournament also includes invited teams from the CONCACAF region, which comprises North, Central America and the Caribbean, that qualified via the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League.[1]

The group is made up of defending champions and current world champions Argentina, Peru and Chile, all three from CONMEBOL, and Canada from CONCACAF.[2] The draw for the groups was conduced on December 7, 2023, with Argentina being previously seeded into the group as head.[3] Group A's matches, which include the opening match of the tournament between Argentina and Canada, will take place from June 20–29 at six venues in six U.S. cities.[4]

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