Chargers game day car service at SoFi Stadium

The Chargers schedule on chargers.com lists five more home games at SoFi Stadium this regular season, with times in Pacific. The Week 17 home game against Kansas City had no date or kickoff as of late October, and kickoff times can move, so check the team's schedule page in the week of the game.

The Chargers also play the Rams at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, November 1 at 1:05 PM, but that game is a Rams home game. Your transportation plan is the same either way, because both teams use the same stadium, drop-off zones and gate times.

• Sunday, November 8, 1:05 PM: Houston Texans (CBS)
• Sunday, November 22, 1:05 PM: New York Jets (FOX)
• Sunday, November 29, 5:20 PM: New England Patriots (NBC)
• Thursday, December 17, 5:15 PM: San Francisco 49ers (Prime Video)
• Week 17, date and time to be announced: Kansas City Chiefs

Two home games start in the early evening. The Sunday, November 29 game against New England kicks off at 5:20 PM, at the end of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and the Thursday, December 17 game against San Francisco kicks off at 5:15 PM on a workday. SoFi Stadium opens entry gates 2 to 3 hours before an NFL kickoff, so for the Thursday game you would arrive at Kareem Court between about 2:15 and 3:15 PM, in the thick of afternoon traffic.

For night games, ask for an earlier pickup than you think you need and plan for a late return. An hourly booking of 7 to 8 hours is common when the drive is long, and time past the hours booked is billed at the hourly rate of the vehicle booked.

From Irvine the stadium is about 41 miles, typically 1 to 2 hours depending on traffic, much of it on I-405. From Beverly Hills it is about 13 miles, from Santa Monica about 12 miles and from Downtown Los Angeles about 12 miles. Longer drives make hourly service more valuable, because the chauffeur waits nearby during the game instead of driving back and forth.

A Sprinter Van is a practical choice for an Orange County group, since everyone rides together for the long drive and leaves together after the game. See our Irvine car service and Orange County car service pages for pickups across the county.

SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome are about 1.6 miles apart, and some Sundays bring games at both. On Sunday, November 8, the Chargers host Houston at 1:05 PM, and the Clippers host New Orleans at Intuit Dome at 6:00 PM, with Intuit Dome's garages opening at 2:00 PM. Expect heavier traffic on Century Boulevard and Prairie Avenue as one crowd leaves and the next arrives, and leave extra time for the trip home. Our Clippers game night page covers the arena side.

Sunday, November 29 is also the closing day of the LA Auto Show downtown and the end of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, so freeways may be busier than usual before the 5:20 PM kickoff. Fans flying in for a game can be met at LAX, about 5 miles from the stadium via Century Boulevard, and taken to a hotel first or straight to Inglewood.

SoFi Stadium directs rideshare vehicles, taxis and limousines to Kareem Court. Drop-off is on the northbound curb lane of Kareem Court, reached via westbound Pincay Drive from Crenshaw Boulevard, and drivers must follow traffic control officer instructions. The designated pickup area is at Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard, and the stadium's A-Z guide places limousine drop-off and pickup at a designated spot on Kareem Court north of Pincay Drive.

SoFi Stadium is a clear bag policy facility, and guests may not exit and re-enter using the same ticket. For more detail on the venue, see SoFi Stadium car service and the SoFi Stadium planning guide.

For SoFi Stadium, hourly service of typically 5 to 8 hours is strongly recommended over a one-way pickup. A one-way event pickup includes 15 minutes of complimentary waiting from the scheduled time, which is hard to use when tens of thousands of fans leave at once. Hourly bookings keep the vehicle reserved for you from pickup until you are home.

A Comfort Sedan or Executive Sedan carries up to 3 passengers, a Luxury SUV up to 7 and the Escalade Elite up to 6. The Mercedes Sprinter Van carries up to 16 passengers. Capacities are maximums, and an equivalent vehicle may be substituted for the class shown.
