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

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.

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.

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.

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.
