Gold Cup 2015: Live Stream Schedule for All Tournament Fixtures
The 2015 edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup will get underway with the co-host United States beginning its bid to retain the trophy captured two years ago.
But the home nation won't find a bid to win another Gold Cup easy. The team has been placed in a daunting-looking Group A. Honduras certainly represents a tough first opponent.
Fellow host Canada will be in action on the second day. The Canadians will kick off their attempt to qualify from Group B when they meet El Salvador.
Frequent tournament powerhouse Mexico will get day three started against Cuba. El Tri always take this competition seriously and will have more of their notable players available than the squad that participated in this year's Copa America.

The USMNT's bid to repeat will hinge on new leadership. Specifically, midfield playmaker Michael Bradley has been promoted to captain.
The Toronto FC skipper will replace veteran forward Clint Dempsey, according to an AP report from Yahoo Sports. It's a change that has come hot on the heels of Dempsey's clash with a referee during a U.S. Open Cup fourth-round match.
It may be all change at the top end of the squad, but the holders are still packed with talent. Attacking midfielder Alejandro Bedoya and striker Jozy Altidore give manager Jurgen Klinsmann's team plenty of pace, power and creativity in forward areas.
Klinsmann will know that his fiercest competition, assuming his team successfully navigates Group A, will come from Mexico. Attackers Carlos Vela and Giovani dos Santos have the pace, movement and technical quality to unhinge any defence.
It was certainly a blow to lose Manchester United's Javier Hernandez to a collarbone injury. But with Dos Santos and Vela around, manager Miguel Herrera's squad is still capable of the type of quick and intricate combination play that makes them the most dangerous attacking force in the competition.
ESPN FC writer Andrea Canales believes Vela, Dos Santos and veteran front man Oribe Peralta can inspire a successful run at the trophy.
It's a similar story for Costa Rica, another nation relying on a deadly double act up front. Arsenal youngster Joel Campbell is undoubtedly the headline act.
He's suffered through a poor club season, but Campbell became an instant hit last summer after some exceptional performances at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The 23-year-old is cheetah-fast and has a deadly left foot.
But he'll also need the guile of experienced link player Bryan Ruiz. The 29-year-old is smart in possession, always looking to play between the lines. Ruiz also specialises in excellent and dangerous late runs into the box.
Predicting a favourite for the competition is tough. German World Cup winners Mario Gotze and Andre Schurrle believe the U.S. can win the Gold Cup, according to Jack Kerr of the Guardian.
But a full-strength Mexico will certainly take some beating, despite USA's motivation from playing on home turf.
