2028 Olympics Events at SoFi Stadium

Opening Ceremony

SoFi Stadium hosts the 2028 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony on July 14, 2028. Capacity expands to approximately 100,000 for the ceremony, making it one of the largest single events in stadium history.

Tip: Opening Ceremony tickets are the most competitive of the entire Games. Register at LA28.org immediately — subscriber priority windows open first and provide the best chance of securing tickets before public lottery rounds.

Track & Field Athletics

SoFi Stadium hosts Olympic athletics competitions including sprints, distance races, field events, and relay finals. The stadium reconfigures its field for the Olympic track configuration.

Tip: 100-meter and 200-meter finals are the highest-demand individual athletics sessions. Sprint final sessions sell out first among individual athletics events — prioritize those if track and field is your primary interest.

Closing Ceremony

The 2028 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony takes place at SoFi Stadium on August 10, 2028. Like the Opening Ceremony, the stadium expands to its maximum capacity configuration for the event.

Tip: Closing Ceremony tickets are typically easier to secure than Opening Ceremony tickets — many visitors focus their travel on the Opening while Closing attendance is lower. If your budget allows only one ceremony, Closing Ceremony tickets are the more achievable target.

Getting Tickets

How to Get 2028 Olympics Tickets for SoFi Stadium

All 2028 Olympics tickets are sold exclusively through the official LA28 ticketing platform at LA28.org. Ticket sales open in phases: subscriber priority windows first (requires prior LA28 registration), followed by public lottery draws for high-demand events. Opening and Closing Ceremony tickets are category-based — prices range from base-tier general admission through premium lower bowl, with hospitality packages available through authorized LA28 commercial partners.

Athletics session tickets (sprint finals, relay finals, field event finals) are individual session tickets sold separately from ceremony tickets. Demand for 100-meter final, 200-meter final, and 4x100 relay final sessions is consistently the highest of any athletics competition session. Register at LA28.org now to receive priority ticketing notifications — the subscriber priority window often provides the only realistic path to Opening Ceremony tickets before they are claimed.

Only Buy Through LA28.org

Unauthorized third-party resellers including StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats are not official LA28 ticketing partners. Counterfeit Olympic tickets are a documented risk. The only safe secondary option is the LA28-authorized resale marketplace within your LA28 account portal, which provides buyer protection and ticket verification.

Parking for Olympic Events

Hollywood Park parking lots are the same lots used for NFL games. All parking requires pre-purchase — no walk-up sales on Olympic event days.

  • Lots 1-3 (adjacent): $80-$120, closest to gates
  • Lots 4-7 (mid-distance): $50-$80, 8-12 min walk
  • Remote lots with shuttle: $30-$50
  • Century Blvd private lots: $30-$60 via SpotHero

Opening/Closing Ceremony parking sells out weeks in advance. Book as soon as your tickets are confirmed.

Metro K Line - Strongly Recommended

The Metro K Line (Crenshaw/LAX Line) stops at Westchester/Veterans station, approximately a 15-minute walk from SoFi Stadium gates.

For the 2028 Olympics, Metro is the primary transportation solution endorsed by LA28 and the City of Los Angeles. LA28 is expanding Metro capacity and extending service hours throughout the Games. From LAX: take the People Mover to Aviation/LAX station, then K Line to Westchester/Veterans. Total journey: 25 to 35 minutes.

Metro fare is $1.75 one way. Round trip is $3.50. Dramatically cheaper than parking and immune to road congestion.

Arrival Timing

Arrive 2.5 to 3 hours before event start for Opening and Closing Ceremonies. For athletics sessions, 2 hours early is sufficient for most gates.

Olympic security screening adds substantial processing time relative to NFL or concert entry. International visitors unfamiliar with the Hollywood Park campus will slow checkpoint flow. The stadium opens earlier for Olympic events than NFL games — use that window.

Seating Guide

Best Seats at SoFi Stadium for the 2028 Olympics

Best for AthleticsPremium

100 Level Center Sideline

Sections nearest the midfield line on either sideline give a clear diagonal view of both straight portions of the track. You can see sprint finishes, field event runways, and the full infield. This is Category 1 — highest price, best overall athletics view.

Best ValueValue Pick

300 Level Center (Upper Deck)

The 300 level upper deck center sections provide the complete stadium vantage point that track and field fans prefer for tactical viewing. You see all field events simultaneously and track all race positions from start to finish. Typically 40 to 50 percent cheaper than 100-level sideline.

Sprint Finish ViewSpecialist

End Zone Near Finish Line

For sprint finalists, end-zone 100-level sections near the finish line give a straight-on view of the sprint finish. You lose perspective on the full track but gain intensity for photo finishes and relay handoffs. Strong choice for fans primarily focused on 100m and 200m finals.

How do I get 2028 Olympics tickets for SoFi Stadium?+
All 2028 Olympics tickets for SoFi Stadium events are sold exclusively through the official LA28 ticketing platform at LA28.org. Ticket sales open in phases: subscriber priority windows first, then public lottery draws for high-demand events including the Opening Ceremony. Register at LA28.org now to receive early access notifications. Opening Ceremony tickets are among the most competitive of the entire Games. Do not buy from unauthorized third-party sellers — the only safe secondary channel is the LA28-authorized resale marketplace within your LA28 account.
How do I get to SoFi Stadium for the 2028 Olympics?+
The Metro K Line (Crenshaw/LAX Line) is the primary recommended transportation method. The Westchester/Veterans station is approximately a 15-minute walk from SoFi Stadium gates. From LAX, take the LAX People Mover to Aviation/LAX station and ride the K Line directly to Westchester/Veterans — about 25 to 35 minutes total. Metro will run extended hours and increased frequency during the Games. Driving is possible, but all Hollywood Park parking requires pre-purchase and Century Blvd traffic will be severely congested on Opening/Closing Ceremony days.
Where do I park for the 2028 Olympics at SoFi Stadium?+
Hollywood Park parking lots surrounding SoFi Stadium require pre-purchase — no walk-up sales on Olympic event days. Lots 1 to 3 adjacent to the stadium are closest at $80 to $120 for major events. Mid-distance lots 4 to 7 run $50 to $80. Remote shuttle lots start at $30 to $40. For the Opening Ceremony, all nearby parking will sell out weeks in advance. Metro K Line is the strongly recommended transportation alternative — $1.75 round trip vs $80 to $120 for a parking lot.
Is SoFi Stadium covered for the 2028 Olympics?+
Yes. SoFi Stadium has a translucent ETFE canopy roof that covers all seating areas, providing shade and protection from rain. The stadium is open at the sides, so ambient temperature and wind still affect the experience. Los Angeles in July averages highs of 80 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit in Inglewood. Afternoon events are warm; evening sessions are more comfortable. Bring sunscreen and water for any outdoor waiting before entry — queue areas are not covered.
What is the seating capacity of SoFi Stadium for the 2028 Olympics?+
SoFi Stadium seats 70,240 in its standard NFL configuration. For Opening and Closing Ceremonies and major athletics sessions, temporary seating configurations expand capacity to approximately 100,000. This makes SoFi one of the larger Olympic venues in history for ceremonies. The stadium reconfigures the field floor area for athletic track and field competition, which modifies some lower bowl sight lines relative to NFL configuration.
What are the best seats at SoFi Stadium for the 2028 Olympics?+
For athletics track and field, center sideline lower bowl sections on either side of the infield track give the best all-around view of sprint finals, field events, and relay races. The 300 level upper deck center sections provide a higher vantage that many athletics fans prefer — you can see the entire track and field event zones simultaneously. End-zone sections are directly behind the finish line and give a straight-on view of sprint races, though at a disadvantage for field events on the opposite end.
How far in advance should I arrive for 2028 Olympics events at SoFi?+
Arrive at least 2 to 2.5 hours before event start times. Opening and Closing Ceremonies warrant arriving 3 hours early given the enhanced security screening and the international audience that will be largely unfamiliar with the Hollywood Park campus layout. Olympic security protocols involve additional screening layers beyond standard SoFi bag check. Metro riders should add extra buffer for elevated K Line ridership — platform wait times will be longer than normal on ceremony days.
When should I book hotels for the 2028 Olympics at SoFi Stadium?+
Book immediately. The 2028 Olympics runs 27 days from July 14 to August 10, creating a sustained demand window unlike any single NFL game or concert. Hotels within 5 miles of SoFi Stadium will fill for Opening Ceremony weekend first — the Hilton Garden Inn Inglewood (0.4 miles) and Homewood Suites LAX/Century Blvd (1 mile) are the walkable options most likely to sell out first. The entire LAX corridor (Hyatt Regency, Renaissance, Westin, Marriott) will be constrained throughout the Games period. Early booking locks in lower rates before surge pricing.
Is the 2028 Olympics the first time SoFi Stadium has hosted the Olympics?+
Yes. SoFi Stadium opened in August 2020 and has not previously hosted an Olympics. The 2028 Games mark the stadium's first Olympic event. Los Angeles has hosted the Summer Olympics twice before — in 1932 and 1984 — both times using the LA Memorial Coliseum as the primary venue. The 2028 Games are the first with SoFi Stadium in that central role. SoFi's 2020 opening was specifically timed to allow several years of operational maturity before the 2028 Olympic hosting responsibilities.
Will the 2028 Olympics affect traffic and parking in Inglewood?+
Yes, significantly. The 2028 Olympics is the largest sustained event in Los Angeles history. Unlike a single game day that lasts one afternoon, Olympic events will run across 27 consecutive days. Century Blvd, Prairie Ave, and all freeway interchanges near Hollywood Park (405, 105, 110) will experience daily congestion during peak event periods. LA28 and the City of Los Angeles are planning dedicated Olympic transportation corridors and expanded Metro service. Expect parking prices to be elevated above standard NFL rates throughout the Games.
Is there a fan zone near SoFi Stadium during the 2028 Olympics?+
The Hollywood Park campus — including the BLVD outdoor corridor and the Trillium dining district — is expected to serve as a major Olympic fan activation zone during the Games. Campus restaurants including Jon and Vinny's, Shake Shack, and JennyBird will be open throughout the Olympics period. LA28 may also establish additional fan zones within the broader Inglewood area. Arriving early to the campus before entering the stadium is recommended both for the atmosphere and to avoid the peak entry rush.
What other venues in Los Angeles are hosting 2028 Olympics events?+
The 2028 Olympics spans venues across greater Los Angeles. SoFi Stadium is the primary venue for Opening and Closing Ceremonies and track and field athletics. Other venues include the LA Memorial Coliseum, Crypto.com Arena (basketball), Rose Bowl (soccer), Long Beach Convention Center (boxing and judo), and venues along the LA coast for sailing, swimming, and triathlon events.
