With just over a month to go until the biggest sporting event of the year, Los Angeles is preparing to welcome a massive wave of fans for the eight FIFA World Cup 2026 matches set to take place in the city, including a highly anticipated quarterfinal.
To help keep things moving, LA Metro is expanding its transportation network for the tournament, adding park-and-ride service at 18 locations across SoCal. The upgraded system is designed to make it easier for fans to reach the stadiums and navigate the region on match days. The full list of new park-and-ride locations includes:
- Crenshaw Metro Station.
- Culver City Transit Center (Westfield Culver City Mall).
- Downtown Long Beach (City Place C).
- Downtown Santa Monica Parking Lot 1.
- El Camino College.
- Harbor Gateway Transit Center.
- Hawthorne/Lennox Metro Station.
- North Hollywood Metro Station.
- Pierce College Station.
- Torrance Transit Center.
- LA Union Station.
Two Orange County Locations:
- ARTIC Anaheim Amtrak Station.
- Newport Transportation Center.
Four LAX Locations:
- Joe’s Airport Parking LAX.
- Wally Park.
- Airport Center.
- Marriott Hotel.
- Renaissance Hotel.
The system is designed to reduce congestion around stadium areas by allowing fans to park in designated lots and continue their trip via direct shuttle buses. Metro will coordinate operations with more than 10 regional transit providers and charter companies to ensure coverage across the region.
Parking reservations are now available online, with early bird prices ranging from $55 to $95 depending on location. Each booking includes a guaranteed parking space and round-trip shuttle service to the stadium.
For those not driving, standard Metro fares apply at $1.75 one-way or $3.50 round trip from participating locations. Shuttle service will begin up to three hours before kickoff and continue until two hours after each match ends.
