Kickoff 12:00 PM PT · Official parking $250 · 3–4 hours (Sunday morning, lightest traffic of the eight) from San Diego
Belgium vs IR Iran (June 21) kicks off Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM PT at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Official FIFA parking: $250 per vehicle, pre-purchase only, with the premium listing a ~21-minute walk from the gates. From San Diego, plan 3–4 hours (sunday morning, lightest traffic of the eight) northbound — depart 6:00 – 7:00 AM. Or skip every piece of that: pre-booked EGT round trip, $300 flat in the BMW i7 (two passengers) or $400 flat in the Escalade IQ-L (five passengers, $80/seat) — door-to-curb drop, driver staged through the match, return when you walk out. Call (858) 522-0264.
A Sunday noon kickoff is the most family-friendly slot on SoFi's World Cup schedule — and the lightest traffic window of all eight LA matches. That doesn't change the parking math: FIFA's official lots are $250 per vehicle, pre-purchase only, and the premium-rate listing is still a 21-minute walk from the turnstiles.
For San Diego families and groups making a day of it, this is the cleanest day-trip profile: 6–7 AM pickup, match at noon, and home for Sunday dinner. The per-seat math is what matters here — split a 6-passenger Escalade IQ-L and compare it against $250 parking + fuel + the walk with kids in tow.

Drive yourself from San Diego and the vehicle costs $250 for parking + roughly $60–80 in fuel before anyone has watched a minute of soccer — call it ~$320 for the car, plus a mile-long walk in, a mile back out, and 5–9 hours of your own driving. Split four ways, that's ~$80 per person just to park-and-walk.
Now the EGT side, with real numbers: $400 round-trip flat in the Cadillac Escalade IQ-L seats five comfortably — $80 per person, door-to-curb, which is about the same as what four self-drivers pay per head just to park and walk. Couples take the BMW i7 at $300 round-trip flat — $150 per person versus ~$160 per person self-driving.
The rate is locked at booking. And unlike rideshare, there is no post-match surge: Uber/Lyft from SoFi after big matches has been projected at 2–4× base fare with 45+ minute waits at the Kareem Court pickup zone. Your EGT driver and vehicle are already assigned, already staged, already yours.
Staging: your driver drops at the sanctioned drop zone, then positions 1–2 miles out at a charging/staging location during the match. Return: when you walk out — immediately, or after a post-match dinner in West LA while the parking lots empty themselves. Many guests sleep the whole way back to San Diego.
Rates locked at booking — no surge, no parking pass, no walk. Pre-book early for World Cup dates — San Diego premium vehicle supply is finite and every match date competes for the same fleet. Call (858) 522-0264.
Round-trip San Diego ↔ SoFi for Sunday, June 21, 2026: $300 flat BMW i7 (2 passengers) · $400 flat Escalade IQ-L (5 passengers). No surge, no parking pass, no 21-minute walk.
