SoFi Stadium in Inglewood will host the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, plus track and field events. Here's how to get there by Metro and skip the parking nightmare.
SoFi Stadium is located at One SoFi Way, Inglewood, CA, and the good news is that Metro access is coming soon. The LA Metro K Line (formerly called the Downtown Inglewood Line) is under construction and will provide direct rail service to the stadium area by opening day of the 2028 Olympics.
The K Line is a light rail line that currently connects Downtown LA to other parts of the city, and the new extension will run directly to Inglewood. The Inglewood/Downtown Inglewood station will be within walking distance of SoFi Stadium — approximately 0.3 miles (5-10 minute walk).
| Route | Time from Union Station | Frequency (Peak) | Frequency (Off-Peak) |
|---|---|---|---|
| K Line to Inglewood Station | Approximately 35 minutes | Every 6 minutes | Every 12 minutes |
Once you exit the Inglewood/Downtown Inglewood K Line station, SoFi Stadium is just a short walk away. The route is well-marked and pedestrian-friendly. You'll head south from the station, and directional signage will guide you to the stadium entrance.
Walking time: 5–10 minutes depending on which entrance you use.
Accessibility: The station has elevators and accessible entrances, and the walking path to SoFi includes sidewalks suitable for wheelchairs and mobility devices.
During the 2028 Olympics, SoFi will be hosting major events with massive attendance. Here's what to expect and how to plan accordingly:
A TAP card (Transit Access Pass) is LA Metro's electronic fare card, and you'll need one to ride the K Line and most LA Metro services. TAP cards are reloadable, easy to use, and accepted on all Metro lines.
| Fare Type | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single K Line Trip | $1.75 | Each ride on the K Line |
| Day Pass (Unlimited 1 Day) | $5.00 | Best for multiple trips in one day |
| Weekly Pass | $20 | Good for 7 days of unlimited rides |
| TAP Card Registration | Free | Register online at taptogo.net for protection |
The short answer: parking will be a nightmare. SoFi Stadium parking is expensive, limited, and during the 2028 Olympics, traffic around the Inglewood area will be severely congested. Here's the comparison:
Parking Costs: SoFi Stadium parking typically ranges from $15–$40 per vehicle on game days. During the Olympics, expect premium rates and potential sell-outs.
Traffic Delays: Driving to Inglewood during Olympic events could take 45 minutes to over an hour, even from downtown LA. The K Line? About 35 minutes from Union Station with no traffic worry.
Convenience: The K Line drops you a 5-minute walk from the entrance. No hunting for parking, no $20 parking surcharges, no sitting in post-game traffic.
Rideshare can work if you're coming from nearby neighborhoods, but during major Olympic events, surge pricing will be extreme, and wait times may be long. The K Line is usually faster and much cheaper.
LA Metro buses serve the Inglewood area, but the K Line light rail is faster and more reliable. Use buses if the K Line is unavailable for any reason.
LA Metro is committed to accessibility for all riders. The K Line features:
