SoFi Stadium (/ˈsoʊfaɪ/SOH-fy)[13] is an indoormulti-purpose stadium inInglewood, California, U.S., a suburb ofLos Angeles. SoFi occupies the former site of theHollywood Park Racetrack and neighbors theKia Forum andIntuit Dome.
Opened in September 2020, the stadium has a capacity of 70,240, expandable to over 100,000 for major events, and a translucent roof made ofETFE panels allowing for sunlight and climate control.[14][15][16] It is home to theNational Football League (NFL)'sLos Angeles Rams andLos Angeles Chargers, as well as the annualLA Bowl incollege football. The stadium hostedSuper Bowl LVI in 2022, the2023 College Football Playoff National Championship,WrestleMania 39, and the2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup final. It is scheduled to host eight matches during the2026 FIFA World Cup,[17]Super Bowl LXI in 2027, and the opening ceremony and swimming events for the2028 Summer Olympics.
SoFi Stadium is one of two stadiums currently shared by a pair of NFL teams, the other beingMetLife Stadium shared by theNew York Giants andNew York Jets. It is the first stadium complex outside of theNew York metropolitan area to host two NFL teams concurrently. The stadium lies within theHollywood Park complex, amixed-use neighborhood on the site of the former racetrack.Hollywood Park Casino re-opened in a new building on the property in October 2016, becoming the development's first establishment to open.[18]
SoFi Stadium was designed byHKS and consists of the stadium itself, a pedestrian plaza, and a performance venue. Above the stadium is an independently supported translucent canopy which covers the stadium proper, the adjacent pedestrian plaza, and the attached performance venue. The million-square-foot canopy is made up of 302ETFE panels, 46 of which can be opened to provide ventilation, supported by a cable net.[19] The canopy has 27,000 embedded LED pucks, which can display images and video that can also be seen from airplanes flying intoLos Angeles International Airport.[20] The stadium bowl has open sides and seats 70,240 spectators for most events, with the ability to expand by 30,000 seats for larger events.[21] Despite the roof, the open sides of the stadium still make it vulnerable to lightning delays, with the first such delay in an NFL game between the Chargers and theLas Vegas Raiders on October 4, 2021.[22] The attached music andtheatre venue, known asYouTube Theater, has a capacity of 6,000 seats. The stadium and performance center are considered to be separate facilities under one roof.[23]
Another component of the stadium's design is the Infinity Screen bySamsung, an ovular, double-sided4KHDRvideo board, the first of its kind, that is suspended from the roof over the field. Formerly known as "the Oculus" before a name change, the structure weighs 2.2 million pounds (1,000 t) and displays 80 million pixels.[24][25][26] The Infinity Screen also houses the stadium's 260-speakeraudio system, as well as 565G wireless antennas.[27]
Outdoor sports in California are usually played ongrass due to the state's highly favorable climate. However, a grass field is very difficult to maintain to an acceptable standard when it is used by more than one gridiron football team. Because SoFi Stadium was intended from the outset to be used by two NFL teams, the designers opted not to install a natural playing surface. The stadium joinedCalifornia Memorial Stadium andValley Children's Stadium as the only major sports facilities in California currently in use to haveartificial turf installed.
SoFi Stadium has won a number of industry awards for its design, including, but not limited to:
The stadium site was previously home toHollywood Park, later sold and referred to asBetfair Hollywood Park, which was athoroughbredrace course from 1938 until it was shut down for racing and training in December 2013. Most of the complex was demolished in 2014 to make way for new construction with the rest demolished in late 2016 after the Hollywood Park Casino, which remained open after the track itself closed, moved to a new building. The current stadium was not the first stadium proposed for the site. The site was almost home to an NFL stadium two decades earlier. In May 1995, after the departure of the Rams forSt. Louis, the NFL team owners approved, by a 27–1 vote with two abstentions, a resolution supporting a plan to build a $200 million, privately funded stadium on property owned by Hollywood Park for theLos Angeles Raiders.Al Davis, who was then the Raiders owner, balked and refused the deal over a stipulation that he would have had to accept a second team at the stadium.[32]
On January 31, 2014, theLos Angeles Times reported thatStan Kroenke, owner of theSt. Louis Rams, purchased a 60-acre (24 ha) parcel of land just north of the Hollywood Park site in the area that had been studied by the NFL in the past for the 1995 Raiders proposal and that the league at one point attempted to purchase.[33][34] This set off immediate speculation as to what Kroenke's intentions were for the site: After the site's former Hollywood Park owners gave up on getting an NFL stadium for the site in the mid-2000s it was sold and planned to be aWalmart Supercenter; however, in 2014, most of the speculation centered on the site as a possible stadium site or training facility for the Rams.[35] NFL CommissionerRoger Goodell represented that Kroenke informed the league of the purchase. As an NFL owner, any purchase of land in which a potential stadium could be built must be disclosed to the league. Speculation aboutthe Rams' returning to their home of nearly fifty years had already been discussed when Kroenke was one of the finalists in bidding for ownership in theLos Angeles Dodgers, but speculation increased when the news broke that the Rams owner had a possible stadium site in hand.[36][37]

Nearly a year went by without a word from Kroenke about his intentions for the land, as he failed to ever address the St. Louis media, or the Hollywood Park Land Company, about what the site may be used for. There was, however, speculation about the future of the Rams franchise until it was reported that the National Football League would not be allowing any franchise relocation for the 2015 season.[38]
On January 5, 2015,Stockbridge Capital Group, the owners of the Hollywood Park Land Company, announced that it had partnered withKroenke Sports & Entertainment to add the northern 60-acre (24 ha) parcel to the rest of the development project and build a multi-purpose 70,240-seat stadium designed for the NFL.[39][40][34][41] The project would include the stadium and a performance arts venue attached to the stadium with up to 6,000 seats. The previously approved Hollywood Park development was reconfigured to fit the stadium, and included plans for up to 900,000 square feet (84,000 m2) of retail, 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) of office space, 2,500 new residential units, a luxuryhotel with over 300 rooms, 25 acres (10 ha) of public parks, playgrounds, open space, a lake, and pedestrian, bicycle, and mass-transit access for future services.[34][41] On February 24, 2015, the Inglewood City Council approved plans with a 5–0 unanimous vote to combine the 60-acre (24 ha) plot of land with the larger Hollywood Park development and rezone the area to include sports and entertainment capabilities. This essentially cleared the way for developers to begin construction on the venue as planned in December 2015.[42][43][44]
It was reported in early February 2015, that "earth was being moved" and the site was being graded in preparation for the construction that would begin later in the year.[45]
The project was competing directly with a rival proposal. On February 19, 2015, theOakland Raiders and theSan Diego Chargers announced plans for aprivately financed $1.85 billion stadium that the two teams would have built inCarson if they were to move to the Los Angeles market.[46] The project was, like the Inglewood project, also approved to move forward and cleared for development.[47] The two projects spent the remainder of 2015 jockeying for the right to get approved by the NFL.[48]
The stadium was built privately,[49] but as of 2015, the developer was seeking significant tax breaks from Inglewood.[50][needs update] At the commencement of construction, the cost of the stadium was estimated at $2.66 billion. But internal league documents, produced by the NFL in March 2018, indicated a need to raise the debt ceiling for the stadium and facility to a total of $4.963 billion, making it the . Team owners voted to approve this new debt ceiling at a meeting that same month.[51] Another $500 million in loans was approved by the NFL in May 2020, putting the total cost at $5.5 billion and making it themost expensive stadium ever built.[6][52]
The NFL approved the Inglewood proposal and the Rams' relocation back to Los Angeles, 30–2, on January 12, 2016, over the rival proposal.[53] On July 14, 2016, it was announced thatTurner Construction andAECOM Hunt would oversee construction of the stadium and that the architectural firm HKS, Inc. would design the stadium.[54] On October 19, 2016, theFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) determined that a 110-foot (34 m) tall LB 44 rotary drill rig would not pose a hazard to air navigation, so it approved the first of several pieces of heavy equipment to be used during construction. The stadium design had been under review by the FAA for more than a year because of concerns about how the structure would interact with radar at nearbyLos Angeles International Airport (LAX).[55] On December 16, 2016, it was reported inSports Business Journal that the FAA had declined to issue permits for cranes needed to build the structure. "We're not going to evaluate any crane applications until our concerns with the overall project are resolved," said FAA spokesman Ian Gregor.[56] The FAA had previously recommended building the stadium at another site because of the risks posed to LAX—echoing concerns raised by formerUnited States Secretary of Homeland SecurityTom Ridge.[57] TheRams held the groundbreaking construction ceremony at the stadium site on November 17, 2016. The ceremony featuredNFL CommissionerRoger Goodell and Rams' owner Stan Kroenke.[58][59] On December 23, 2016, the FAA approved the large constructioncranes to build the stadium.[60]
On May 18, 2017, developers announced that record rainfall in the area had postponed the stadium's completion and opening from 2019 until the2020 NFL season.[61][62] On August 8, 2017, the LA Stadium Premiere Center opened inPlaya Vista, featuring interactive multimedia displays and models showcasing the design and features of the new stadium (with a particular focus on prospective buyers of premium suites and seats at the facility).[63][64]
In March 2018, the NFL announced that it would relocate its NFL Media unit (which manages the NFL's in-house media units, includingNFL Network, digital properties, andNFL Films among other units) fromCulver City to a new 200,000-square-foot (19,000 m2) facility neighboring the stadium in the Hollywood Park development including a studio capable of hosting audiences, as well as an outdoor studio. The new facility was completed in 2021.[65][66] On June 26, 2018, the new stadium was ceremoniallytopped out.[67]
As of August 2019, one year before the planned opening, Ramschief operating officer Kevin Demoff stated that the stadium was 75 percent complete.[68]

In January 2020, Demoff announced that construction was 85 percent complete, with roof and oculus work, as well as seat installation, still in progress.[69] In February 2020, a large crane collapsed—no one was injured.[70][71] Amidst theCOVID-19 pandemic andstay-at-home orders issued by the California state government in March 2020, construction (exempted as a critical infrastructure project) continued withsocial distancing and heightened health and safety standards. Demoff acknowledged that there was a possibility that its completion could be delayed, explaining that it was "not the time you want to be finishing a stadium, in this environment as you prepare", but that "our stadium, and I believe theRaiders' stadium as well, will both be amazing when they are finished and when they will begin play, which will certainly happen in the near future, whether that's in July, August, September, in 2021".[72][73] Five construction workers were reported to have tested positive, including an ironworker who had worked in an assembly area away from the structure, and abackfill operator who had worked in an "isolated area outside the building" and had not entered it.[74][75] On June 5, 2020, construction on the facility was temporarily halted after an ironworker fell to his death through a hole in the roof created by the removal of a panel for maintenance.[76][77] On June 9, 2020, construction on the facility resumed everywhere but the roof.[78]
The entirety of the NFL preseason was also cancelled; the Rams held their first practice at the stadium on August 22, 2020.[79] On August 25, the Rams and Chargers announced that all games at the stadium would be heldbehind closed doors "until further notice".[80] An official ribbon-cutting ceremony was hosted on September 8, ahead of its first NFL event on September 13—featuring the Rams hosting and defeating theDallas Cowboys 20–17 in the firstSunday Night game of the season.[81][82] The Chargers would have their first game at the stadium a week later, though they would fall to theKansas City Chiefs 23–20. The first athletic contest with spectators present occurred on May 15, 2021, withLA Giltinis defeatingUtah Warriors, 38–27, in aMajor League Rugby match before 4,880 spectators.[83][84] TheLos Angeles Rams hosted theChicago Bears for the first NFL regular-season game at the stadium with fans in attendance on September 12, 2021, a 34–14 Rams win before a crowd of 70,445. A week later, theLos Angeles Chargers would hold their first regular season game at the stadium with fans in attendance, though they would fall to the Dallas Cowboys 20–17 before a crowd of 70,240.
All of the originally announced summer concerts at the venue were cancelled or postponed by the pandemic, including a two-night stop ofTaylor Swift'sLover Fest on July 25 and 26, 2020 (originally announced as the stadium's grand opening and later cancelled, though she concluded the 2023 U.S. leg ofThe Eras Tour at the stadium), and tours byGuns N' Roses (2020 Tour, they would perform at nearbyBMO Stadium instead),Kenny Chesney (Chillaxification Tour, though he would perform in 2022 at the stadium),Tim McGraw (Here on Earth Tour),Mötley Crüe, andDef Leppard (The Stadium Tour, though they would perform in 2022 at the stadium).[85][86][87] On May 2, 2021, the stadium hosted its first major event with spectators present, the filming of theGlobal Citizen-organized concert specialVax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World, hosted bySelena Gomez and featuringJennifer Lopez,Eddie Vedder, theFoo Fighters,H.E.R.,J Balvin, and theDuke of Sussex, which aimed to promoteCOVID-19 vaccination.[88][89] AfterCOVID-19 restrictions were eased, SoFi Stadium hosted its first in-person concert event by American DJKaskade on July 17. Mexican regional music groupLos Bukis kicked off their reunion tour on August 27 and 28, filling the stadium to capacity.[90]
On November 27 and 28, and December 1 and 2, the stadium hostedPermission to Dance on Stage—LA, a run of four concerts by theK-pop groupBTS.[91] The shows took in a gross of $33.3 million;Billboard reported them to be the highest-grossing concert engagement to ever be held in California, the second-largest in North America overall (surpassed only by a 10-show run atGiants Stadium byBruce Springsteen), and the highest-grossing run of concerts at a single venue since 2012.[92]
On April 29, 2023, the stadium hosted its first everMonster Jam event. Grave Digger would end up winning the overall event championship. Two months later, it was announced that the stadium would play host to Monster Jam World Finals 23 on May 18, 2024. Monster Jam returned to the stadium on May 17, 2025.[citation needed]
The stadium hosted City Year Los Angeles Spring Break Fundraiser on May 4, 2024, with a performance byJohn Legend.[93] On February 1, 2025, the stadium hosted theHonda Battle of the Bands, the first on the West Coast.
On September 15, 2019, it was announced that theSan Francisco-based financial services companySoFi had acquired thenaming rights to the new stadium under a 20-year deal valued at over $30 million per-year, a record for any naming rights for a sports venue.[94] The company became an official partner of both the Rams and the Chargers, as well as a partner of the performance venue and surrounding entertainment district.[95]
The covered open space formerly known asChampions Plaza between the playing field and the performance venue within the stadium was officially namedAmerican Airlines Plaza, as the airline has a hub at nearbyLAX. The airline was named the first founding partner on August 6, 2019.[96]
The performance venue was officially namedYouTube Theater (the company is based inSan Bruno) on June 28, 2021.[97]
For the2026 FIFA World Cup, the stadium will be temporarily renamed to "Los Angeles Stadium" in accordance with FIFA's policy on corporate-sponsored names.[98] Likewise, for the2028 Summer Olympics, the stadium will be temporarily renamed to 2028 Stadium for the duration of the Games.
TheSt. Louis Rams were first to commit to moving to the stadium, as NFL approval for their relocation to Los Angeles was obtained on January 12, 2016. The approval, as part of a concession made by Kroenke to get the stadium project and Rams relocation approved, also gave theSan Diego Chargers the first option to relocate to Los Angeles and share the stadium with the Rams, conditioned on a negotiated lease agreement between the two teams. The option would have expired on January 15, 2017, at which time theOakland Raiders would have acquired the same option.[99]
On January 29, 2016, the Rams and the Chargers came to an agreement in principle to share the stadium. Both teams would contribute a $200 million stadium loan from the NFL andpersonal seat license fees to the construction costs and would pay $1 per year in rent to the facility's controlling entity, StadCo LA, LLC.[100][101][2] The same day, Chargers chairman and CEODean Spanos announced the team would remain inSan Diego for the2016 NFL season, while continuing to work with local government on a new stadium.[102] Measure C (the Chargers stadium proposal) did not receive the requisite number of votes required for passage.
On January 12, 2017, the Chargers exercised their option and announced plans to relocate to Los Angeles for the 2017 season, making the Chargers the second tenant at the stadium and returning them to the market where they played their inaugural season in 1960.[103][104] The Chargers exercising of their option led the Raidersto move to Las Vegas, Nevada, instead, and they began play atAllegiant Stadium in 2020.
The Rams' and the Chargers' move into the stadium marked the return of major professional sports to Inglewood for the first time since theLos Angeles Lakers andLos Angeles Kings leftThe Forum for theStaples Center (now Crypto.com Arena) in Downtown Los Angeles in October 1999.

SoFi Stadium hostedSuper Bowl LVI on February 13, 2022, marking the first Super Bowl to be played in the Los Angeles area sinceSuper Bowl XXVII in 1993. The stadium was originally awardedSuper Bowl LV (2021) at an NFL owners' meeting in May 2016;[105][106] in May 2017, because the stadium's opening was delayed to 2020, the NFL chose to re-award Super Bowl LV toRaymond James Stadium in Tampa (which was the remaining city in a pool of four used to determine the hosts ofSuper Bowl LIII through LV), and award LVI to Los Angeles instead. Because issues may need to be addressed in an inaugural season, the NFL does not allow a stadium to host the Super Bowl during its first season of operation.[107]
In 2022, SoFi Stadium became the first stadium to host a conference championship game and the Super Bowl in the same year. With the Rams winning the 2021 NFC Championship Game, they became only the second team behind theTampa Bay Buccaneers to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium, although the Rams were the away team, since the AFC (Cincinnati Bengals) was the designated home team. Following the Rams' 23–20 victory against the Bengals, it also became the second stadium to see its main tenant win the Super Bowl after Raymond James Stadium.
SoFi Stadium will host Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027, its second Super Bowl.
On November 1, 2017, it was announced that the stadium would host the2023 College Football Playoff National Championship.[108] TheGeorgia Bulldogs, winners of thePeach Bowl andTCU Horned Frogs, winners of theFiesta Bowl played on January 9, 2023.[109] Georgia won 65–7, making it the largest margin of victory in a national championship game, and at the time, was the largest margin of victory any bowl game at theFootball Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level, until Georgia surpassed that margin in the2023 Orange Bowl.[110]
TheMountain West andPac-12 conferences play a bowl game at SoFi Stadium known as theLA Bowl (officially known as the Art of Sport LA Bowl Hosted byGronk). The conference tie-ins for the game moved from theLas Vegas Bowl.[111] The inaugural edition of the game in 2021 featuredUtah State defeatingOregon State 24–13.

The stadium hosted the2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup final on July 16, 2023. It was the seventh final held in the Los Angeles area.Mexico won 1–0 againstPanama.[118] The stadium also hosted two matches during2024 Copa América, the2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and the2025 and 2027 CONCACAF Nations League Finals.
The local bid for Los Angeles in the2026 FIFA World Cup was organized by private businesses led byAEG with assistance from the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment District Commission,Los Angeles FC, theLA Galaxy, andRose Bowl Stadium. The Los Angeles City Council approved the bid after private businesses showed support and offered to pay hosting costs.[119] SoFi Stadium was initially not selected as a bidding venue in the winningCanada–Mexico–United States bid because the organizing committee left unbuilt venues out of its final evaluations.[120] The American bid to host the World Cup was selected byFIFA on June 13, 2018,[119] and SoFi stadium will host multiple matches during the tournament.[121] SoFi Stadium is one of sixteen venues set to host matches. It is also one of eleven US venues being used and is one of two venues in California which will host matches, the other beingLevi's Stadium in theSan Francisco Bay Area.
The stadium lacks a regulation-sizedsoccer field due to its narrow width, which has been criticized by FIFA officials. To satisfy FIFA requirements, several field level seats would be removed and the turf surface replaced by a grass field.[122][123] In September 2023,Stan Kroenke threatened to pull hosting from the stadium until a dispute regarding revenue sharing between him and FIFA could be resolved, though it was confirmed in January 2024 that the stadium would still be hosting matches. On February 4, 2024, it was announced that the stadium would host the opening match for theUnited States on June 12, 2026, as well as their third group match on June 25, 2026. SoFi Stadium will host eight matches: five group stage matches, twoRound of 32 matches and aquarterfinals match.[124]

On April 1 and 2, 2023, SoFi Stadium hostedWrestleMania 39, the 2023 edition ofWWE's flagshipprofessional wrestling eventWrestleMania. It was the highest-grossing event in WWE history, with a reported gate of $21.6 million and a combined attendance of 161,892 fans over both nights.[125] SoFi Stadium was originally slated to hostWrestleMania 37 in 2021,[126][127] but its hosting was deferred to 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic[128][129]
SoFi Stadium (which, per prior precedent, will be renamed for the duration of the Games according tosponsorship rules) will host theopening and closing ceremonies of2028 Summer Olympics andParalympics (with organizers proposing a split format for the Olympics that would also incorporate theLos Angeles Memorial Coliseum).[130]
The stadium will hostswimming events with a planned configuration seating 38,000 spectators, making it the largest swimming venue in Olympic history. The pool will be constructed prior to the opening ceremony, and covered by the staging. To facilitate the reconfiguration process following the opening ceremony, swimming will notably take place during the second week of the Games, rather than the first as is traditional.[131][132] As part of their planning, the stadium sent a team to review how another NFL stadium – theIndianapolis Colts'Lucas Oil Stadium – successfully installed the pool to host the2024 US Olympic swimming trials.[133]
It was confirmed the under construction Hollywood Park Studios will host theIBC and the "NFL Los Angeles" office tower will host the Main Press Center.[134]
SoFi is amongst the stadiums being considered for hosting matches during the2031 Men's Rugby World Cup and2033 Women's Rugby World Cup.[135]
