PARKING: Los Angeles Chargers vs. Las Vegas Raiders

The Chargers host the Raiders at SoFi Stadium on September 20, 2026, and if you're driving in, you'll want a parking pass locked in before game day. Official SoFi Stadium parking lots at 1000 South Prairie Avenue in Inglewood have passes available at $169.

Chargers vs. Raiders

This is one of the AFC West's oldest ongoing rivalries. The two franchises spent decades as neighbors in Southern California, and even though the Raiders have relocated to Las Vegas, the history between the fanbases hasn't softened. When the Raiders come to Inglewood, there's a noticeable energy in the parking lots well before kickoff.

The Chargers have built SoFi Stadium into a genuine home-field advantage since moving from Carson. The facility is one of the most modern in the NFL, with a translucent roof that keeps the sun out while leaving the place feeling open. Raiders fans travel well, so expect a mixed crowd and act accordingly.

About SoFi Stadium

SoFi Stadium opened in 2020 and sits inside the Hollywood Park mixed-use development in Inglewood, about a mile from the Los Angeles International Airport and a short drive from the 405. It seats roughly 70,000 for NFL games and has hosted Super Bowl LVI and the College Football Playoff National Championship. The parking infrastructure around it is substantial, with multiple designated lots managed by the stadium operator.

Parking Details

Official lot passes are $169. Buying in advance through the stadium's ticketing partners guarantees your spot and avoids the premium day-of rates. The lots at 1000 South Prairie Avenue are within walking distance of the stadium gates.

Lot entry times typically open two to three hours before kickoff. Confirm your specific lot's entry window when you purchase, since different zones open at different times. The lots stay open for an hour or more after the final whistle to let traffic clear.

If $169 feels steep, third-party lots along Century Boulevard and in surrounding neighborhoods run cheaper but require more walking. Those fill up fast for rivalry games.

Getting There Without a Car

SoFi Stadium has a dedicated Metro station on the C Line (Green Line). The Hawthorn/Lennox station is close, and the Inglewood station at the end of the K Line (Crenshaw Line) puts you right at the Hollywood Park campus. Either option avoids the parking situation entirely and costs under $5 round-trip with a TAP card.

Rideshare drop-off zones are designated on the east side of the stadium. Expect surge pricing for anything in the 90-minute window around kickoff.

A Few Practical Notes

Inglewood stadium traffic on game days is significant. The 405 and 105 both see slowdowns. If you're coming from the Westside or South Bay, add at least 30 to 45 minutes to your usual drive time. Coming from downtown or the Valley, plan on more.

Tailgating in the official lots is permitted in most zones with standard NFL rules: open flames in designated areas only, no kegs. Security does bag checks at all stadium gates.

Check your ticket or parking confirmation for the gate assignment, since different lots feed different entrances and walking between them mid-game-day traffic is frustrating.
