It's mere weeks after Gregg Berhalter's men beat Gerardo Martino's in the inaugural Nations League final. The United States came out on top then, but they're going to be taking to the field without their brightest stars at the Gold Cup, Christian Pulisic, Giovanni Reyna and Weston McKennie taking the rest of the summer off to give the MLS a chance to take center stage.
Hirving Lozano, Jesus Corona and Hector Herrera are all involved for Mexico, though Guillermo Ochoa is saving himself for the Olympics.
Costa Rica, led by Joel Campbell, are also being hotly tipped, as are Honduras, though Jamaica are shaping up as a force to be reckoned with. The Reggae Boyz got to the semi-finals two years ago, and have talent throughout their team, star man Leon Bailey set to be supported by a strong cast including Amarii Bell, Bobby Reid and the ever-intriguing Ravel Morrison.
This promises to be an intriguing tournament, and here's how to live stream Gold Cup 2021 from anywhere.

How to watch Gold Cup 2021 from outside your country
Scroll down for all the ways you can watch the Gold Cup online in a number of countries around the world. But first, you should know that if you're abroad at any point during the tournament, you probably won't be able to watch the footy like you normally would at home.
This is because of geo-blocking, a digital restriction that means certain streaming services are only accessible in the region they're based in. Don't sweat it, though, as you've got the option of using a VPN to tune to your preferred coverage wherever you are.
