Option 3: Use ride share from LAX
If you prefer a direct ride, you can use ride share from LAX or a nearby LAX hotel to reach SoFi Stadium. This may be easier for small groups, but keep in mind that World Cup traffic, event pricing, and pickup delays may increase on match days.
For the smoothest experience, check SoFi Stadium transportation updates before you travel and plan to arrive early. SoFi Stadium recommends arriving early for events and reviewing transportation options in advance.
