Los Angeles Stadium(SoFi Stadium)
"The Spaceship" - capacity 70,240
Know Before You Go
Los Angeles Stadium is the official FIFA World Cup 2026 name for SoFi Stadium. FIFA strips commercial sponsor branding from host venues for the duration of the tournament, so on match tickets, broadcast graphics and the official fixture list the venue appears as Los Angeles Stadium. Locals will keep calling it SoFi Stadium the rest of the year.
SoFi Stadium is the most expensive stadium ever built at over $5 billion. Its futuristic translucent ETFE roof creates a unique indoor-outdoor experience, protecting fans from the elements while allowing natural light to flood in. Located in Inglewood, LA, it serves as the home of the Rams and Chargers.
