# 2024 Copa América Group B

Group B 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.
The group was made up of Mexico from CONCACAF, Ecuador and Venezuela, both from CONMEBOL, and Jamaica from CONCACAF. The draw for the groups was conducted on December 7, 2023, with Mexico being previously seeded into the group. The group's matches took place from June 22–30 at six venues in six U.S. cities.
The top two teams, following a round-robin of three matches per team, advanced to the quarterfinals.
