Los Angeles World Cup 2026 eSIM Guide
SoFi Stadium delivers some of the marquee group-stage and knockout matches. Pair it with a couple of California beach days for a full Pacific-coast trip.
The stadium
SoFi Stadium. SoFi Stadium is in Inglewood, ~15 miles south of downtown LA. Without traffic it's 30 minutes; on match day, build in 60–90.
Getting there
The Metro K Line stops at Downtown Inglewood (~10 min walk to the stadium). Most fans drive or rideshare; parking books out fast for big matches.
Connectivity in Los Angeles
Coverage is excellent across all major US carriers in the Inglewood/LAX corridor. Expect short-lived peaks of congestion at full-time when everyone uploads clips at once.
For fans visiting from outside USA, the cleanest setup is a regional eSIM that covers USA, Canada, and Mexico—so you don't need to switch plans if your itinerary takes you through more than one host country during the tournament.
