SoFi Stadium World Cup 2026: LA's $5.5 Billion Venue

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, is the crown jewel of modern stadium design. At $5.5 billion, it's the most expensive stadium ever built, and it will host some of the most anticipated World Cup matches including a semifinal.

The Venue

Opened in 2020, SoFi Stadium seats 70,000 for soccer configuration. Its open-air canopy design provides shade without enclosing the stadium. The adjacent YouTube Theater and Hollywood Park entertainment complex create a full-day destination.

Los Angeles

LA needs no introduction. Beaches, Hollywood, diverse cuisine from every corner of the globe, and year-round sunshine make it one of the premier World Cup destinations. The city's metro connects downtown to Inglewood.
