SoFi Stadium Parking: What to Check Before Game Day

Parking availability, fees and rules at SoFi Stadium depend on the event and parking zone. The stadium’s official Parking and Transportation page directs you to purchase parking for the specific event, so start there rather than assuming a pass or lot will be available on arrival.

For concerts and non-NFL games, parking passes can be purchased in advance through the stadium parking page. Event-day sales may be limited, unavailable or more expensive. For NFL games, onsite parking inventory is extremely limited; the stadium directs guests without a pass to alternatives including Inglewood Park & Go and public transportation.

If you’re also sorting out transport, how to get to SoFi Stadium from Manhattan Beach is a separate planning question from choosing a parking zone.

Use the official parking page for your event, then follow the instructions attached to the pass you buy. Parking passes are tied to a zone and its specific entry gate, so confirm both before driving to the stadium.

The stadium advises following the directions in your parking pass confirmation email. A pass allows one space per vehicle; spaces are not pre-assigned unless the pass says otherwise. You cannot reserve or save spaces for people arriving later.

For entry details, the stadium’s guide to SoFi Stadium tickets and entry covers another part of the event-day plan.

For NFL games, limited onsite inventory makes advance planning especially important. If you don’t have a pass, consider the stadium’s named alternatives rather than relying on event-day parking sales. The stadium says there is no event parking on residential streets in Inglewood and no street parking for events within Hollywood Park.

Before you go: Lot availability, prices and event rules can change. Check the official SoFi Stadium site before you go, and use your pass confirmation for the final zone, gate and timing details.

Match your arrival plan to the event’s lot hours and the rules for your parking zone. Parking gates for NFL events generally open 4–5 hours before kickoff; lots for concerts and non-NFL events generally open 3–4 hours before the event. The hours can differ by event, so check your pass.

For regular-season home games of the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams, the Hyundai Pink Zone typically opens about 5 hours before kickoff and other lots open 4 hours before kickoff.

The stadium advises checking the team websites for the latest lot-opening times. Lots typically close one hour after an event ends, but confirm the event-specific hours on your pass.

Tailgating is allowed only in designated areas for select events. For NFL games, the stadium identifies the Hyundai Pink Zone and requires an advance-purchased Hyundai Pink Zone pass. Tailgate activities must stop by kickoff, and enforcement teams begin sweeping tailgate areas 15 minutes before kickoff.

At NFL games, vehicles do not have in-and-out privileges. Tailgating-area access is first come, first served; guests who arrive later than one hour before kickoff may be moved to a non-tailgating lot.

Coolers, tents, tables and chairs cannot be placed on the ground around parked vehicles; these items are allowed only in designated tailgating zones. Oversized vehicles, including stretch limousines, RVs and buses, are not allowed in accessible parking spaces, even with a disabled parking placard.

Accessible parking is available for each event, with licensed spaces in every parking zone. You need a valid state-issued accessible placard or license plate to use these spaces.

Accessible spaces are first come, first served. Tell the parking attendant you need close parking; the stadium recommends arriving when the gates open to improve your chance of parking nearby.

Guests arriving by rideshare, taxi, limousine, bus or shuttle are directed to the northbound curb lane of Kareem Court, accessed via westbound Pincay Drive. The designated rideshare pickup is on Kareem Court at Manchester Boulevard. Accessible courtesy shuttles may be offered for selected events and may be discontinued at any time.
