Counting down to Los Angeles 2028
What to know
Planning angle
This is the hardest logistics problem in modern sports travel. Venues run from Long Beach to Inglewood to Pasadena, and Los Angeles transit does not connect them the way a compact Olympic city would. Where you stay will define which sports you can realistically see.
Fan experience
A venue-cluster strategy beats a chase-the-medals strategy. Pick a geographic cluster, book accommodation inside it, and build a schedule around events you can reach without crossing the county twice a day.

Best areas to stay
Pulled from our city guides for each host destination.
Los Angeles
- Downtown LA (best transit access, closest to Crypto.com Arena)
- Santa Monica (beach base, poor for Inglewood venues)
- El Segundo / Manhattan Beach (closest practical base for SoFi and Intuit Dome)
- Pasadena (only sensible base for Rose Bowl events)
How to get around
What the transit network actually covers in each host city.
Los Angeles
Metro rail covers Downtown, Long Beach, Santa Monica, and Pasadena, and the K Line now reaches the Inglewood area. It does not connect every venue, and coverage gaps are large. Plan on a mix of rail and rideshare, and treat any cross-county trip during rush hour as a 90 minute exercise.

Stadium and arena guides for this event
SoFi Stadium
Inglewood, United States
The Metro K Line reaches the Inglewood area, but there is no station directly at the stadium and the final leg is a shuttle or a long walk. Most attendees drive or use rideshare. Rideshare pickup is staged in dedicated lots that can be a 10 to 15 minute walk from your seat. LAX is unusually close, roughly four miles away.
Open guideCrypto.com Arena
Los Angeles, United States
Metro A and E line trains stop at Pico station, a short walk from the arena, and this is comfortably the easiest way in. Union Station connects to the wider regional rail network and is a few stops away. Downtown Los Angeles is walkable around LA Live and the convention centre, though the wider downtown grid is less pleasant on foot at night.
Open guideDodger Stadium
Los Angeles, United States
There is no rail station at the ballpark, which is the central planning problem. The Dodger Stadium Express bus runs from Union Station and from the South Bay on game days and is free with a game ticket, which makes it the best option by a distance. Union Station itself connects Metro rail, Amtrak and regional services, so the realistic public transport route is rail to Union Station and then the shuttle.

Frequently asked questions
How spread out are the venues?+
Significantly. The venue plan spans Long Beach, Inglewood, downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, and the San Fernando Valley. Some pairs of venues are over 40 miles apart.
When should you start planning?+
Accommodation is the binding constraint, not tickets. Los Angeles has large hotel inventory but it concentrates in areas that may not match your event schedule, so decide your venue cluster first.
Will public transit be usable?+
Metro rail coverage has expanded and connects downtown, Long Beach, and parts of the Westside. It does not reach every venue, so plan for a mix of rail, shuttle, and rideshare.
