Getting back after the event
After a Rams or Chargers game, take Metro's free SoFi Stadium Express from the transit lot at Prairie Ave and Arbor Vitae St back to the LAX/Metro Transit Center. Return buses start at the beginning of the fourth quarter, run every 5 minutes, and keep going for 90 minutes after the game or until all fans have boarded. From that station the last trains leave at 12:17 am (K Line toward Expo/Crenshaw), 12:20 am (C Line toward Norwalk) and 12:32 am (K Line toward Redondo Beach), every day of the week, per Metro's June 2026 timetables. After a concert there is no Metro shuttle: the options are regular Line 117 and 212 buses, which run until about 1 am, or rideshare from Kareem Court and Manchester Blvd.
| Mode | What runs after events |
|---|---|
| Shuttle | NFL games only: SoFi Stadium Express back to LAX/Metro Transit Center. Board in the same transit lot where you were dropped off, at the southeast corner of Prairie Ave and Arbor Vitae St. Return service starts at the beginning of the fourth quarter, with buses every 5 minutes for 90 minutes after the game. Metro's October 2026 guide adds "or until all fans have boarded" and says the Express is free. [source] |

Southbound toward El Segundo and Redondo Beach: the last train leaves at 12:32 am. Same times Monday to Friday and on weekends and holidays (timetable effective June 7, 2026).

Getting there
Public transit
No rail line stops at the stadium. For Rams and Chargers games, Metro runs the free SoFi Stadium Express bus from the LAX/Metro Transit Center, where the C and K Lines meet. For concerts and other events there is no Metro shuttle; regular Metro buses on Century Blvd, Manchester Blvd and Prairie Ave stop near the stadium.
- NFL games: take the Metro C Line or K Line to LAX/Metro Transit Center Station. Follow the signs from the platform to the bus plaza and Bus Bay 8.
- The SoFi Stadium Express runs every 10 minutes or less, starting three hours before kickoff. It drops you in the transit lot at the southeast corner of Prairie Ave and Arbor Vitae St.
- Metro's October 2026 guide says the Express is free and runs for every Rams and Chargers game through the playoffs and the Super Bowl. Regular Metro fare applies on the trains and buses you take to reach it.
- Metro bus lines 102, 111, 117, 120 and 232 also stop at the LAX/Metro Transit Center.
- From Union Station or downtown: take the A, B or D Line to 7th St/Metro Center, the E Line toward Santa Monica to Expo/Crenshaw, then the K Line toward Redondo Beach to LAX/Metro Transit Center (about 20 minutes on the K Line).
- Any event: Metro Line 115 stops at Manchester/Kareem, Line 117 at Prairie/Century and Line 212 at Prairie/Kelso. For a 2026 concert (Ed Sheeran, August 2026), these three bus lines were the only Metro option Metro listed.
- Other agencies on NFL game days: GTrans Line 7X runs on game-day Sundays from Harbor Gateway Transit Center (Bay 3), starting three hours before the game. The stadium also lists Torrance Transit and Culver CityBus Line 99 Express service to SoFi.
- Park and ride: Metro lists paid parking at C Line stations (Aviation/Imperial, Crenshaw, Hawthorne/Lennox, Lakewood Bl, Willowbrook/Rosa Parks) and free parking at Redondo Beach Station on the K Line.

Driving and parking
Every car needs a parking pass bought in advance. Without one you are turned away and sent to off-site options. For NFL games on-site parking is very limited. Passes are tied to a color-coded zone with its own entry gate.
- Passes are digital. Each one is assigned to a zone (Blue, Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Yellow and others) and you must enter through that zone's gate; other gates turn you around. In navigation apps, search "SoFi Stadium - Parking" and pick your zone.
- One pass covers one space. Spaces cannot be saved; friends who want to park together need passes for the same zone and must arrive together.
- Gates at lots owned or managed by the stadium take credit cards only. Day-of sales depend on space and cost more than buying ahead.
- NFL games: lots open four to five hours before kickoff. Concerts and other events: three to four hours before the start. Lots generally close one hour after the event ends. No overnight parking.
- There is no street parking for events inside Hollywood Park, and no event parking in nearby residential neighborhoods.
- Tailgating is only allowed for select events, in the Pink zone, with a tailgating parking pass. It opens four hours before kickoff and must stop at kickoff. Only natural gas or propane grills; no charcoal, wood or open fires.
- Off-site: the City of Inglewood's Inglewood Park & Go sells parking in garages near Manchester Blvd in downtown Inglewood, with a separate shuttle pass per person to and from the stadium (910 S. Prairie Ave).

Rideshare (Uber, Lyft)
Drop-off is on the northbound curb lane of Kareem Court; drivers reach it from westbound Pincay Drive off Crenshaw Blvd. The designated pickup is at Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard.
- Taxis, limos and buses use the same Kareem Court drop-off.
- The taxi pickup is on Kareem Ct between Pincay Drive and Manchester.
- The stadium's A-Z guide says rideshare pickup can change by event and provider; check your app for the pickup point.
- Scooters and bikes from services like Bird or Lime are not allowed in the city or the district. Bike racks are available; bring your own lock.

Bag policy
Clear bags only, no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", or a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag, plus one small clutch no larger than 4.5" x 6.5". NFL games follow the NFL clear-bag policy.
- Not allowed: purses larger than a clutch, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, diaper bags, cinch bags, luggage, computer bags, camera bags and any bag over the size limit.
- For non-NFL events the stadium allows clear backpacks and fanny packs if they are completely clear (no tint, patterns or stickers) and within the size limit.
- Diaper bags with medically necessary items are allowed after extra screening and need a bag tag.
- Bags that do not meet the policy go back to your car or to a paid bag valet at one of four stadium corners. SoFi cardholders check bags free.
- The policy can change by event. Check the event's Know Before You Go email or the stadium's social channels.

Where to stay
| Area | Why |
|---|---|
| LAX area (Century Blvd) | The SoFi Stadium Express leaves from and returns to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, so a hotel within reach of that station needs no train after the game. Metro Line 117 also runs along Century Blvd past the stadium. |
| El Segundo / Redondo Beach (K Line south) | On the K Line toward Redondo Beach, a few stops south of the LAX/Metro Transit Center. The last southbound train from there leaves later than the northbound one, at 12:32 am. |
| Downtown Los Angeles | Metro's route from downtown is the E Line to Expo/Crenshaw, then the K Line about 20 minutes to the LAX/Metro Transit Center and the Express. It is two transfers, so check the last E Line train if you are coming back after a late game. |
