SoFi Stadium

About SoFi Stadium

SoFi Stadium hosts eight FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, including four group-stage fixtures, knockout rounds through a Quarter-Final, and a Semi-Final on July 15, 2026 — four days before the Final at MetLife. The $5.5 billion venue opened in 2020 in the Hollywood Park district of Inglewood, roughly ten miles south of downtown Los Angeles, and is the largest stadium in the NFL by footprint, with a base capacity of 70,240 expandable to 100,000+ for marquee events. Outside the World Cup, SoFi is the year-round home of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and Chargers and a top-tier global event venue — Super Bowl LVI in February 2022 (Rams 23, Bengals 20) cleared $7,000–$10,000+ on the resale get-in market through kickoff, and the stadium hosts the 2028 Olympic opening ceremony, every major touring concert (Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, The Weeknd), and Copa America 2024 matches that produced $400–$1,200 sideline resale comps directly applicable to World Cup pricing. The venue's defining feature is the translucent ETFE canopy roof — open-air on the sides for natural ventilation in the mild LA climate — and the 12-million-pixel Samsung Infinity Screen (informally "the Oculus") suspended over the field, which doesn't obstruct sightlines from any seat. For the World Cup, the playing surface is reconfigured with a soccer-specific natural-grass pitch installed over the football field; the long sidelines parallel the C-Level (100s) sideline sections, and the goal lines sit behind sections C113–C115 and C137–C139. Compare prices on Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, StubHub, and the official FIFA resale marketplace through TicketScan to see the full cross-platform spread before locking in seats — early Copa America 2024 data from this venue showed $200–$400 spreads on identical sideline sections between platforms, and Semi-Final demand historically trails only the Final itself. Set a free price alert and let the platforms compete for your buy.

Ticket Tips for SoFi Stadium

• ✓C-Level sideline sections C100–C112 and C140–C152 give you the best soccer sightlines — the long axis of the pitch parallels these 100-level sideline rows and these are the FIFA Category 1 zone
• ✓Avoid C-Level sections C113–C115 and C137–C139 if you want a clear view of both ends of the field — these sit directly behind the goal lines
• ✓Mezzanine 300s sideline (301–310, 340–349) is the best $500–$1,300 mid-range value — elevated full-pitch views at roughly half the C-Level sideline price
• ✓Upper Bowl 500s corner and endline sections are the cheapest World Cup seats at SoFi (FIFA Cat 4) — group-stage tickets start under $200 but expect $700+ for the Semi-Final, $500+ for the Quarter-Final, and $300+ for the Round of 32
• ✓Hancock Club and Coyote Reserve are SoFi's field-level all-inclusive premium tiers — private lounges, in-seat service, and pitch-side access — worth the premium for the Semi-Final if you want air-conditioned halftime away from the SoCal sun
• ✓Take the LA Metro K Line to Downtown Inglewood Station and walk 10 minutes — the only sane way in for World Cup matches given LA Metro's chronic SoFi-to-LAX traffic congestion on event days
• ✓Skip driving to the Semi-Final — the 405 and 105 interchanges back up for hours and official lots run $75+ even for group-stage matches; rideshare drop-off zones are gridlocked from 90 minutes pre-match through 60 minutes post-final-whistle
• ✓Set a TicketScan price alert before the FIFA general sale clears — every prior major event at SoFi (Super Bowl LVI, Taylor Swift, Copa America Final) saw a 15–25% resale dip in the 7–10 days after the official on-sale as flippers offload inventory they can't move at face value
