How do you get to SoFi Stadium from the LAX area?

From the LAX area, you can plan a drive, use transit, or arrange a drop-off, but event-day instructions determine which approach works best.
If you are comparing ways to travel around the city without driving, the Los Angeles car-free transport guide covers the broader picture.
For NFL games, Metro directs riders on the C or K Line to LAX/Metro Transit Center Station, then to the SoFi Stadium Express at Bus Bay 8.
Riders can also take bus Line 102, 111, 117, 120 or 232 to that transit center, with a transfer to the Express at Bus Bay 8. The return Express service starts at the beginning of the fourth quarter and runs for 90 minutes after the game.
Metro’s bus options for reaching the stadium at any time are Line 115 to Manchester/Kareem, Line 117 to Prairie/Century and Line 212 to Prairie/Kelso. Routes and event services can vary, so confirm the current plan with Metro before travelling.
How should you plan event-day transit and pickup?

Plan your drop-off or pickup location before arriving: stadium traffic instructions direct different types of vehicles to designated areas.
Rideshare, taxi, limousine, bus and shuttle drop-offs are directed to the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court. Drivers must approach Kareem Court via westbound Pincay Drive and follow traffic-control instructions. The designated rideshare pickup point is Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard.
For NFL events, on-site parking is extremely limited. Alternatives include Inglewood Park & Go, public transportation, GTrans, Torrance Transit and Culver CityBus. If you are also attending an event at YouTube Theater, check that venue’s own transport directions rather than assuming the same arrangements apply.
For general ADA drop-off and pickup, use the Hyundai Orange parking-zone entry and follow staff directions. Accessible paths are available at all stadium entries.
What are the parking, ticket-entry and stadium policies?

Parking requires a pass for a designated stadium or Hollywood Park lot; guests without one will be turned away and directed to off-site options.
Use the access point assigned to your parking zone. If you enter through a different zone, staff will turn your vehicle around and direct you to the assigned area.
ADA parking stalls are available in all parking zones on a first-come, first-served basis. Vehicles using them need a valid ADA placard and a valid parking pass, or must pay the parking fee at the gate.
Opening windows depend on the event. For NFL games, parking lots open 4 to 5 hours before kickoff and entry gates open 2 to 3 hours before kickoff. For concerts and non-NFL games, lots open 3 to 4 hours before the event starts and gates open 1 to 2 hours before it starts.
SoFi Stadium follows a clear-bag policy and strongly encourages guests to leave bags and containers at home. Permitted bags must be made of clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and measure no more than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches.
Outside food and beverages are prohibited, including items bought elsewhere on the Hollywood Park campus outside the stadium security perimeter, except where medically required under the stadium’s policy. Security screens guests and searches bags for prohibited items.
All entries have an accessible path. During NFL games, general-admission guests enter from the north or south according to their seating location. Check your ticket and event guidance for the applicable entrance.
Planning your return after an event
Choose your return pickup or transit plan before the event ends, since the designated areas and service windows shape how you leave.
Rideshare pickups use Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard. If you are taking the SoFi Stadium Express after an NFL game, service begins at the start of the fourth quarter and continues for 90 minutes after the game. Follow event staff and transit instructions to reach your assigned pickup point.
Before you go: SoFi Stadium policies and its A-Z Guide can change, and event arrangements may differ. Check the official site before you go.
