About SoFi Stadium
SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California has a capacity of 70,000 for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The venue will host 8 matches during the tournament.
SoFi Stadium is the newest venue at the 2026 World Cup, having opened in 2020 in Inglewood, California. It is the most expensive stadium ever built, costing approximately $5.5 billion. The stadium hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022 and served as a venue for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It features a striking translucent ETFE roof canopy.
For the World Cup, SoFi's artificial turf has been replaced with hybrid natural grass. The stadium's unique canopy roof provides shade and weather protection while keeping the sides open to the California breeze.
