About SoFi Stadium

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California is the most technologically advanced and expensive sports venue ever constructed, having opened in 2020 at a cost of $5.5 billion. The home of both the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers NFL franchises, SoFi Stadium brings a futuristic aesthetic to the FIFA World Cup 2026 β€” with its distinctive translucent ETFE roof providing full weather protection while allowing natural daylight to flood the interior. The stadium is located in Inglewood, immediately adjacent to the future Clippers Arena and a short distance from Los Angeles International Airport. Los Angeles is one of the world's great football cities β€” with MLS's LA Galaxy and LAFC drawing passionate crowds β€” and the large Hispanic population in the greater LA area ensures electrifying atmospheres for Central and South American fixtures. With the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and Super Bowl LXI also scheduled at this venue, SoFi Stadium is at the centre of a golden era of mega-events for the city.

The most expensive stadium ever built globally at $5.5 billion (2020). Features a translucent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) roof that allows natural light while providing full weather protection. Also hosts Super Bowl LXI in 2027.
