San Diego to SoFi Stadium: Every Way to Get There (2026)
Four ways to make the 120-mile trip on game day, with real costs and times, so you can pick the right one for your group.
Call or text (858) 522-0264Direct answer: From San Diego, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood is about 120 miles and 2 to 3 hours each way on game day. The four ways to get there are driving and parking (stadium parking is sold in advance and runs well above a normal lot, plus two to three hours each way behind the wheel and a slow post-game exit), rideshare (two long surge-priced legs and a crowded pickup zone after the game), Amtrak Pacific Surfliner to Los Angeles plus a transfer (no direct service to Inglewood), or a pre-booked private car round trip. Elite Green Transportation runs SoFi round trips from San Diego at $400 (BMW i7, 2 riders), $450 (Rivian R1S, up to 4) and $500 (Cadillac Escalade, up to 5), drop-off a short walk from the gate, driver staged through the game, pickup at a fixed meeting point after the final whistle.

Works when
- You want the game, not the drive

- You leave Inglewood the minute the game ends
Trade-offs
- Book ahead: one round trip per car per game, and marquee dates sell out
Works when
- You are staying in LA afterward
Trade-offs
- Parking is prepaid and scarce for NFL games
- Post-game exits from the SoFi lots routinely take an hour or more
- Nobody in the car can enjoy the tailgate
Works when

Trade-offs
- A 120-mile trip prices at the long-distance rate each way, and post-game surge is the rule

- No guarantee a driver accepts a 2-hour return to San Diego at midnight
Works when
- You are solo and flexible on return time
Trade-offs

Frequently asked questions
How far is SoFi Stadium from San Diego?
About 120 miles via I-5 and I-405. Plan 2 to 3 hours each way on a game day; the return after a night game is usually faster once you clear Inglewood.
How much does a car service from San Diego to SoFi Stadium cost?
Elite Green Transportation charges a flat round trip of $400 in the BMW i7 (2 riders), $450 in the Rivian R1S (up to 4) and $500 in the Cadillac Escalade (up to 5). The driver stays for the game. Gratuity is at your discretion and payment is after the ride.
Is it cheaper to drive to SoFi from San Diego?
For one or two people driving is cheaper on paper, but you add prepaid stadium parking, 4 to 6 hours of driving, and an exit that can take over an hour. For three to five people a $450 or $500 round trip is close to what two rideshare legs cost, with none of the surge or pickup-lot risk.
Can I take Uber from San Diego to SoFi Stadium?
Yes, but it is two long-distance legs, both at whatever surge applies, and after the game you wait in the designated rideshare lot for a driver willing to take a 2-hour trip to San Diego. Most of our SoFi clients tried that once.
Does the Amtrak Surfliner go to SoFi Stadium?
No. The Pacific Surfliner runs San Diego to Los Angeles Union Station; from there you still need a Metro connection or a ride to Inglewood, and the last southbound trains leave before most night games end.
Can I book a one-way ride to SoFi from San Diego?
We run SoFi as round trips only, so the same driver who takes you up is waiting when the game ends.
