The countdown to the summer of soccer is on, and if you’re headed to Los Angeles for the matches, here’s the insider move: stay by the beach.

Welcome to Redondo Beach, where your soccer trip becomes more than just game day. It’s morning coffee by the ocean, afternoons bike rides along the coast, and nights celebrating with fans from around the world.

Instead of just planning where to stay, here’s how to map out an unforgettable week, complete with match days at SoFi Stadium.

While the full tournament schedule includes multiple rounds, here are the confirmed June match dates at SoFi Stadium to plan around:

• Friday, June 12, 2026 – Group Stage Match (Featuring Team USA)
• Thursday, June 25, 2026 – Group Stage Match (Featuring Team USA)

Day 1: Arrive

Check into your hotel and head straight to the water. Start your trip slow because the pace here is part of the experience.

Walk the Redondo Beach Pier, grab fresh seafood, and watch the sunset as international fans begin to roll into town.

Day 2: Explore Like a Local

Ease into your first full day with a ride along The Strand. Cruise north toward Hermosa and Manhattan Beach for classic SoCal views.

In the afternoon, kayak or paddleboard through the harbor or marina.

Day 3: Match Day at SoFi Stadium

Game day has arrived.

Grab breakfast by the beach, throw on your team colors, and make the short drive to SoFi Stadium.

After the match, skip the traffic stress. Head back to Redondo Beach, where post-game celebrations feel a little more relaxed and come with an ocean breeze.

Day 4: Recovery + LA Sights

After the excitement, take a slower day.

Option 1: Stay local with a beach day and long lunch by the water.
Option 2: Venture out to explore nearby icons like Hollywood or Beverly Hills.

Either way, end your day back in Redondo because nothing is better than coming “home” to the coast.
