FIFA is selling parking passes at 2026 World Cup games in Los Angeles for $250 or $300 per matchday and per spot — more than the price of some actual match tickets.
The passes are for parking spaces more than a mile away from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., according to listings on FIFA’s “official World Cup 2026 parking website.”
SoFi will host eight World Cup matches, including the U.S. team’s opener and a quarterfinal. For those two matches, a single parking spot is priced at $300. For the other six, including Iran vs. New Zealand and the third U.S. group match, a pass costs $250. (A Category 3 ticket to some of those matches costs $140 or $180.)
A FIFA spokesperson, when asked to justify the prices, told The Athletic that “parking prices are determined based on local market conditions and benchmarking against comparable major events previously held in each host city.”
The $250 spots appear to be in or near the “VIP West Garage” at the Intuit Dome, the Los Angeles Clippers basketball arena, which is just outside SoFi Stadium’s Hollywood Park campus. FIFA’s parking website, which is operated by JustPark, estimates that the walk from parking spot to stadium would take 21 minutes, though the exact length would depend on security checkpoints, entrances and other factors.
