  • The pass shows up in your 49ers or Ticketmaster account. See how parking passes work.

Road closures

Enter your address on the Levi’s directions page for directions to your lot. Use the free Waze app for live road-closure updates. Levi’s recommends it on its parking lot maps page.

  • Expect heavy traffic on US-101, SR-237, I-880, Lawrence Expwy, Great America Pkwy and San Tomas Expwy.
  • Expect road closures. For the 10/19 game, Tasman Dr closes from 9:30 AM until after the event. Some off-ramps and parts of Great America Pkwy also close.

Passes for sold-out lots

What game and lot do you want parking for?
Request parking

Season passes for Red, Blue and Green Lot 1 are sold out. Single-game passes for those lots can reappear on Ticketmaster or in the app. For Early Entry Tailgate, see early entry.

Premium and VIP lots work like any other lot. You need a pass for that lot, not a premium seat ticket.

For tailgating rules, see Tailgate at Levi’s Stadium.

Parking together

Every lot uses directed parking, including VIP and accessible spaces. Staff wave each car into the next open space.

  • Spaces are not assigned.
  • You can’t save spaces.
  • Lots usually fill from the back first.
  • Cars that arrive apart are not parked side by side.

Help in the lot

Unique Towing offers free roadside help in stadium lots: jump-starts, flat tires and lockouts. Call 408-579-4600, from 3 hours before the event to 1 hour after.

Private security and Santa Clara police patrol the lots.

No pass yet?

A few lots take card payment on game day. These spaces are limited and may cost more than a prepaid pass.

Several private lots near the stadium sell spaces in person on game day.

If you can’t get a pass, park at a VTA light rail lot and take the train in.

Stay out of the neighborhoods

Police patrol residential areas before and during games. The city’s 10/19 advisory also bans parking on Tasman Dr and marked parts of Lick Mill Blvd.

Private mobile-home communities in Sunnyvale tow cars parked there without permission.

Leaving after the game

For rideshare and transit, see Getting to Levi’s Stadium.

Disabled placards

For the Red Lot 1 entrance and placard rules, see the accessible parking guide.

Bike valet

The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition runs a free bike valet outside Gates A and C at NFL games. It takes cargo bikes, e-bikes, scooters and small personal mobility devices. It closes 1 hour after the event.

For the 10/19 game, it opens at 1:45 PM. The city posts each game’s opening time in its advisory.

On the 10/19 game day, the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail closes to everyone except ticketed fans. It closes at Agnew Rd at 8:00 AM. Ticketed fans can use it from 1:45 PM.
