June 12, 2026. USA vs. Paraguay. SoFi Stadium. This is the match every American soccer fan has been talking about for three years — the USMNT’s World Cup opener at home. 70,000+ people will fill SoFi Stadium. And almost none of them should drive. SoFi has no Metro rail connection. The surrounding streets will be fully closed within a security perimeter. Surface roads will be gridlocked for miles. Rideshare apps will be running surge pricing north of 4x from the moment the pre-match broadcast starts. EZ Vans has World Cup transportation services available for June 12 — but vehicles are nearly committed and the few remaining spots go to groups who call this week.
What Makes June 12 Different from Every Other Match Day
The USMNT has not played a home World Cup opener since 1994. That was the last time the United States hosted the tournament, and June 12 will be the first opportunity in a generation for American fans to watch their team kick off on home soil. That combination — national pride, a World Cup stage, and the largest stadium in the LA area — creates a transportation environment that is categorically different from any previous SoFi event.
The SoFi Stadium security and event perimeter for this match will be the largest ever deployed at a Southern California venue. FIFA mandates extended exclusion zones, credentialed access checkpoints, and restricted vehicle corridors around the stadium on match days. Streets that are normally open will be closed hours before kickoff. The free Metro shuttle program will run, but multiple reports already indicate that capacity limits will be hit well before kickoff — leaving thousands of fans stranded in the queue. Private charter is the only way to guarantee door-to-SoFi service with confirmed pickup windows. No queue, no surge pricing, no guessing.
Group Transportation Options for June 12
EZ Vans runs the full range of vehicle sizes so your group travels together regardless of how many people you’re moving.
- Small groups (4–14): Mercedes Sprinter — private, direct, no stops unless requested. The right vehicle for friend groups, corporate teams, and family parties that want a dedicated ride with no shared-vehicle compromises.
- Medium groups (15–28): Minibus — perfect for larger friend groups, office groups, or mixed fan-and-family parties. Everyone on the same vehicle, same arrival time, same post-match pickup.
- Large groups (29–57): Charter motorcoach — the right choice for fan clubs, corporate hospitality programs, and office blocks. Move your entire group in one vehicle and eliminate the coordination problem entirely.
- Multi-stop pickups: Yes, EZ Vans does hotel-to-SoFi shuttle runs with multiple stops — hotel plus home plus office, or any combination. Mention your stops when you call.
On pricing: large charter groups run starting from approximately $75–85 per person for shared-charter arrangements. Private Sprinter service starts from $550. Custom pricing for all bookings — call (310) 553-8267 for a same-day quote.
How Early Should You Leave?
Departure time on June 12 is not a guess — it is a calculation based on where you’re starting and what the roads will do. Here is the area-by-area guide:
- Beverly Hills / Century City / West LA: Leave 2 hours before kickoff. The westside feeds into the 405 corridor, which will be heavily impacted.
- Downtown Los Angeles: Leave 90 minutes before kickoff. The 110 south is your route and it will be moving — until it isn’t.
- Santa Monica / Culver City: Leave 2 hours before kickoff. Beach and westside traffic funnels badly through La Cienega and Lincoln before it reaches Inglewood.
- El Segundo / LAX area: Leave 75 minutes before kickoff. You’re the closest — but you’re also sharing surface streets with 70,000 other fans coming from every direction.
- Long Beach: Leave 2 hours before kickoff. The 405 north through Hawthorne will be stop-and-go well before the security perimeter kicks in.
- Orange County (Anaheim, Irvine): Leave 2.5–3 hours before kickoff. Traffic heading north into Inglewood from the 405 will back up early and stay backed up. Do not underestimate this corridor on this day.
- San Diego groups: This is a travel day. Your bus departs early morning. EZ Vans will set the schedule so your group arrives with time to spare — not time to panic.
EZ Vans sets your departure time based on your pickup location and matchday traffic data. You do not have to guess — that’s part of what you’re booking.

What About Parking at SoFi?
SoFi parking passes for World Cup match days are $60 or more per vehicle — and for June 12, most parking allocations sold out months ago. If you somehow have a parking pass, you’re looking at a 15–20 minute walk from the designated lots to the stadium gates, in June heat, with 70,000 other people moving in the same direction.
Groups that drive separately almost always struggle to find each other after the match. One car parks in a different lot. Someone’s rideshare drops them at the wrong gate. The post-match chaos becomes a logistics problem that takes hours to resolve. With EZ Vans, your group arrives together, gets dropped at the correct gate area, and has a confirmed post-match pickup point that everyone knows before kickoff. No parking pass needed. No post-game scattering. Book Now to reserve your vehicle.
After the Match — Getting Home
The post-match exit is the hardest part of the day at SoFi Stadium. After any major event, the surrounding roads are gridlocked for 60 to 90 minutes. For a World Cup opener with 70,000 fans, that window will be longer. Rideshare apps will show surge pricing north of 5–6x immediately after the final whistle — and wait times of 45 minutes or more are realistic for large groups trying to leave at the same time.
EZ Vans can hold your departure time or set a standby window for groups with flexible post-match plans. Your driver is on site, confirmed, and ready — you are not competing with 70,000 people for a rideshare at 11pm. Round-trip booking means the return is as handled as the arrival. That is the part of the day most groups forget to plan for, and the part they most regret not planning for.
