FIFA World Cup 2026 — SoFi Stadium

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood is one of eleven US host venues for the 2026 FIFA World Cup — the most technologically advanced stadium in the world hosting the most watched sporting event on the planet. Los Angeles is slated to host group stage matches beginning in June and a semifinal on July 14, 2026, making SoFi Stadium the epicenter of the West Coast's World Cup experience. The stadium complex, home to the Rams and Chargers, seats 70,000 with a capacity that can expand to 100,000 for events of this scale, and its translucent roof and in-bowl video halo make it the most visually distinctive venue in the tournament. Los Angeles has one of the largest soccer supporter communities in the United States, built through decades of LA Galaxy history, Liga MX fandom, and the international community that calls the city home — when the World Cup comes to Inglewood, those communities all gather in the same stadium for the first time at this scale. Tickets for individual matches are available through FIFA's official portal; hospitality packages through SoFi. If you have any connection to the 32 qualifying nations playing in LA, this is the pilgrimage.
