Official SoFi Stadium Parking Lots

Venue-operated lots and structures with guaranteed availability when you pre-purchase.

Hollywood Park Lots 1-3 (Stadium Adjacent)

Official
3-5 min walk

The closest lots to SoFi Stadium gates. Required pre-purchase - no walk-up sales. NFL games sell these out weeks in advance. For Rams vs. Chargers matchups or nationally televised prime time games, buy as soon as your game tickets are confirmed. These lots open 3.5-4 hours before NFL kickoff for tailgating.

$80-$100
per vehicle

Hollywood Park Lots 4-7 (Mid-Distance)

Official
8-12 min walk

General Hollywood Park campus lots. Still pre-purchase only. A 10-minute walk to the stadium gates is manageable for most fans. These lots hold the bulk of SoFi's parking capacity and have tailgating permitted. Arrives into sections organized by gate - match your lot to your gate for the shortest walk.

$50-$70
per vehicle

Remote Lots with Shuttle Service

Official
Shuttle to stadium

The lowest-cost official SoFi parking option. Operated shuttle buses run continuously between remote lots and the stadium, starting 3 hours before kickoff and running until 90 minutes after the game ends. Good for fans not planning to tailgate. Book early - these sell out too for popular games.

$30-$40
per vehicle

Nearby Private Lots

Third-party lots and street parking that often run cheaper than venue prices.

Century Blvd Private Lots

Private
12-18 min walk

Private operators along Century Blvd offer the cheapest driving-distance parking outside of SoFi's remote lots. Walk time to the gates is 12-18 minutes depending on which lot you use. Pre-book through SpotHero at least a week out for the best rates - day-of prices at these lots jump significantly.

$30-$50
per vehicle

Manchester Blvd Overflow Lots

Private
20-25 min walk

Farthest walk to the stadium but consistently cheaper. Popular with fans who prioritize cost savings and are comfortable with the distance. Exit is actually faster here post-game since you are further from the main bottleneck.

$25-$40
per vehicle
Parking Tips

How to Park Smarter at SoFi Stadium

Pre-Purchase is Mandatory - There is No Walk-Up Option

SoFi Stadium does not sell parking at the gate for NFL games or major events. All parking is pre-purchase through the SoFi Stadium app, AXS, or partner sites. This is the single most important thing to know. Show up without a parking pass and you will be turned away from every official lot.

Buy Parking When You Buy Tickets

The moment you purchase game or concert tickets, open the SoFi Stadium app and lock in parking. NFL regular season lots adjacent to the stadium sell out within days of the schedule release. Waiting until game week almost always means settling for a remote lot or a long walk from a private lot.

Tailgating Opens 3-4 Hours Before Kickoff

SoFi Stadium lots 1-7 allow tailgating. Lots open 3-4 hours before NFL kickoff. Grills are allowed but open flames directly on asphalt are not - bring a mat or a propane setup. The Hollywood Park retail district also has restaurants and bars open before and after games if you prefer that to the lot scene.

Match Your Lot to Your Gate

The Hollywood Park campus is large. Parking lots are organized roughly by which stadium gate is closest. When you pre-purchase, the lot listing often references the nearest gate. Check your seat section before buying parking - enter through the gate closest to your section and park in the corresponding lot to minimize your walk.

Plan Your Post-Game Exit Route

Seventy thousand people exiting at once creates real congestion. The 405, 105, and 110 all see backup. Fans going north on the 405 tend to have the longest waits. Heading south toward the 105 or east on Century Blvd is usually faster. Sit in your lot for 20-25 minutes after the game ends and let the initial surge clear before you try to exit.

World Cup 2026: Metro Is the Right Call

FIFA World Cup 2026 runs June through July. SoFi Stadium hosts 8 matches including a semifinal. International fans arriving at LAX should default to Metro K Line: take the free LAX-it shuttle to Aviation/LAX station, board the K Line, and ride to Westchester/Veterans — an 8-minute walk to SoFi's south gate. Round trip costs $3.50 and eliminates parking costs, post-match lot delays, and rideshare surge pricing entirely. For the semifinal especially, parking will be fully sold out months in advance.

Skip the Parking Hassle

Metro K Line

Two Metro K Line stations serve the SoFi Stadium area. Westchester/Veterans station is the closest to the Hollywood Park campus entrance, about a 15-minute walk to stadium gates. Downtown Inglewood station is a longer walk but serves fans heading to Kia Forum or Intuit Dome too. On NFL game days and major concert nights, the K Line runs additional trains before and after events. Taking the train eliminates $40-$100 in parking costs and skips the post-game lot exit entirely. For FIFA World Cup 2026 matches (June-July 2026), Metro is especially recommended — international fans arriving from LAX can take the free LAX-it shuttle to Aviation/LAX station, then ride the K Line directly to Westchester/Veterans in about 25-35 minutes.

Rideshare Tips

SoFi Stadium has designated rideshare pickup and drop-off zones on the perimeter of the Hollywood Park campus. Drop-off is relatively smooth. Pickup after a 70,000-person event is a different story - surge pricing is extreme for the first 45 minutes after final whistle. The most effective strategy: decide on a pickup meeting point before the game (away from the main gates), wait 25-30 minutes inside the stadium after the game ends, then walk to your spot and request the ride when prices have come down. Walk at least three blocks from the stadium perimeter.

FAQ

SoFi Stadium Parking - Frequently Asked Questions

How much is SoFi Stadium parking?+
SoFi Stadium parking runs $40-$100 depending on lot location and event type. Adjacent lots (1-3) are $80-$100 for NFL games. Mid-distance lots (4-7) run $50-$70. Remote shuttle lots are $30-$40. Non-NFL events like concerts typically price lots at $40-$60 across the board. All parking is pre-purchase only - no gate sales.
Where do you park for SoFi Stadium?+
All SoFi Stadium parking is on the Hollywood Park campus surrounding the stadium. Lots 1-3 are closest to the gates, lots 4-7 are mid-distance, and remote lots connect via shuttle. Private lots on Century Blvd and Manchester Blvd are off-campus but within walking distance. The stadium address is 1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301.
Can you tailgate at SoFi Stadium?+
Yes. Official Hollywood Park lots 1-7 allow tailgating. Lots open 3-4 hours before NFL kickoff. Grills are permitted with restrictions - open flames on asphalt are not allowed, so bring a mat or use a propane setup. Remote shuttle lots do not permit tailgating. Pre-purchasing tailgate lots requires selecting lots 1-7 specifically at checkout.
Do you have to pre-purchase parking at SoFi Stadium?+
Yes, for NFL games and all major events. SoFi Stadium does not offer walk-up parking sales for Rams games, Chargers games, or headline concerts. Pre-purchase through the SoFi app, AXS, or partner sites like ParkWhiz. Buy at the same time as your tickets - lots sell out first for the biggest matchups.
What time does SoFi Stadium parking open?+
SoFi Stadium lots open 3-4 hours before NFL kickoff for games with tailgating. For concerts and other events, lots typically open 2-2.5 hours before showtime. Remote shuttle lots open on the same schedule and run shuttles continuously from opening through 90 minutes after events end.
What is the cheapest SoFi Stadium parking option?+
Remote lots with shuttle service are the cheapest official option at $30-$40. Private lots on Century Blvd pre-booked through SpotHero or ParkWhiz can get into the $30-$35 range. Metro K Line to Westchester/Veterans station eliminates parking cost entirely. If you want the cheapest on-site parking, remote shuttle lots need to be booked early as they sell out too.
How long does it take to exit SoFi Stadium parking?+
Adjacent lots 1-3 can take 45-60 minutes to fully clear after a 70,000-person event. Mid-distance lots 4-7 are 30-45 minutes. Remote lots clear faster because they are farther from the main congestion. Waiting 20-25 minutes inside the stadium after the game before heading to your car typically halves your exit time from the lots.
Is there a parking map for SoFi Stadium?+
Yes. The SoFi Stadium app includes an interactive parking map showing all Hollywood Park lot locations, real-time availability, and walking routes to each stadium gate. When you pre-purchase parking, the confirmation includes your specific lot assignment with a map link. The app is the most accurate real-time source during event days since lot availability changes as fans arrive.
What is the difference between SoFi Stadium Lots 1-3 and Lots 4-7?+
Lots 1-3 are stadium-adjacent, typically a 3-5 minute walk to gates. They are the most expensive ($80-$100) and the first to sell out. They allow tailgating. Lots 4-7 are mid-distance, 8-12 minutes to gates, priced at $50-$70, and also allow tailgating. Lots 1-3 are the choice for fans who prioritize proximity; Lots 4-7 save $20-$30 at the cost of a longer walk.
Is there accessible (ADA) parking at SoFi Stadium?+
Yes. ADA-designated spaces are available in lots 1-7, closest to the stadium gates. Pre-purchase ADA parking through the SoFi Stadium app or AXS and select the accessible parking option at checkout. ADA spaces are in high demand for sold-out games - purchase as early as possible. Accessible drop-off zones are also available at designated gate entrances on the stadium perimeter.
What app do I use to pre-purchase SoFi Stadium parking?+
The SoFi Stadium app is the primary channel for pre-purchasing official Hollywood Park lots 1-7 and remote shuttle lots. AXS also sells official SoFi Stadium parking for many events. For private off-campus lots on Century Blvd and Manchester Blvd, SpotHero and ParkWhiz are the main booking platforms. Avoid third-party resellers for official lots - purchase directly through the app or AXS to guarantee the quoted price.
Is SoFi Stadium parking different for concerts versus NFL games?+
Yes. NFL game parking ($80-$100 for lots 1-3) is significantly more expensive than concerts ($40-$60 across most lots). NFL lots sell out weeks in advance; concert parking sells out closer to show date and sometimes has same-day availability. Tailgating etiquette differs too - concert events have shorter lot open windows (2-2.5 hours) versus NFL tailgating (3-4 hours). Both require pre-purchase for official lots.
What happens if both SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome have events on the same night?+
The Hollywood Park campus serves both SoFi Stadium (70,240 seats) and Intuit Dome (18,000 seats), which are located about a half mile apart. When both have events simultaneously, shared campus lots fill faster, entry queues back up earlier, and exit after your event takes longer. On dual-event nights, arrive 30-45 minutes earlier than normal and plan to wait an extra 20-30 minutes to exit the lot after your event.
Which freeway exit is best for SoFi Stadium parking?+
From the 405: exit Century Blvd east - this puts you directly on the main approach road toward the Hollywood Park campus. From the 105: exit Prairie Ave north toward the campus - works well for Lots 4-7 on the east side. From the 110: exit Century Blvd west. For Lots 1-3 (closest to stadium), the 405 Century Blvd exit is most direct. For the remote shuttle lots, the 405 or 105 are both efficient. Avoid surface streets through Inglewood on game days - Century and Prairie are the fastest corridors.
How much is parking for World Cup 2026 at SoFi Stadium?+
World Cup 2026 parking at SoFi Stadium is expected to be priced at $60-$100 for adjacent lots, similar to NFL playoff pricing. FIFA World Cup matches draw international audiences unfamiliar with the pre-purchase requirement — all SoFi parking is pre-purchase only, with no walk-up sales at the gate. Lots will sell out well in advance of each match, especially the semifinal. Purchase as soon as your match tickets are confirmed through the SoFi Stadium app or AXS.
Should I drive or take the Metro to World Cup 2026 at SoFi Stadium?+
Metro K Line is strongly recommended for World Cup 2026 matches. The tournament draws international fans who may not have a car, and Los Angeles freeway traffic during summer afternoons and evenings is severe. The K Line runs from Westchester/Veterans station, an 8-minute walk from SoFi Stadium's south gate, connecting to LAX via the free LAX-it shuttle at Aviation/LAX station in about 25-35 minutes total. Pre-purchasing parking and then sitting in a lot for an extra 45-60 minutes post-match adds significant time for an audience primarily arriving from hotels near LAX.
Where should I park for the World Cup 2026 semifinal at SoFi Stadium?+
The World Cup 2026 semifinal at SoFi Stadium is one of the highest-demand matches in the tournament and parking will be sold out far in advance. Book Lots 1-3 immediately when tickets go on sale if you plan to drive. However, for the semifinal specifically, Metro K Line from Westchester/Veterans station is the most reliable transportation option — it eliminates parking availability risk entirely and avoids post-match congestion from a full 70,000-seat crowd.
