SoFi Stadium is a covered, multi-use arena situated in Inglewood, California, in the United States, a suburban area of Los Angeles. It stands on the grounds that previously held the Hollywood Park Racetrack and is positioned next to both the Kia Forum and the Intuit Dome.
The surrounding Hollywood Park development is a large mixed-use district built on the old racetrack site. Within this complex, the Hollywood Park Casino was reopened in a newly constructed building in October 2016 and became the first operational venue in the redevelopment area.
Design, capacity and usage
The venue opened in September 2020 and features a translucent ETFE roof system that allows natural light while supporting climate regulation. Its standard seating capacity is 70,240, but it can be expanded to accommodate more than 100,000 people for major occasions.
The stadium is shared by two National Football League franchises: the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers. It is one of the few NFL stadiums used jointly by two teams and the first such complex outside the New York metropolitan region to operate in this way.
Major events and future schedule
Since opening, the stadium has hosted several major sporting and entertainment events, including Super Bowl LVI in 2022, the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship, WrestleMania 39, and the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup final. It also served as the venue for the LA Bowl from 2021 through 2025.
Upcoming plans include matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Super Bowl LXI in 2027, and both the opening ceremony and swimming competitions for the 2028 Summer Olympics. The selection of the stadium for the World Cup replaced an earlier proposal involving the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
