Stuck between kickoff and a powder-blue crisis. That’s a familiar LA moment, especially around Inglewood on a Sunday. If you need a real jersey, hat, or sideline hoodie today, you’ve basically got four proven lanes: the team stores at SoFi Stadium and in El Segundo, a couple of reliable big-box spots that actually stock Chargers gear, and the online pro shop if you can wait. Here’s how to choose, with real hours, taxes, and services that actually matter when you’re on the clock in Los Angeles.
If you want the biggest in-person selection and stadium exclusives, the main team store at SoFi Stadium is the move on a non-event day. The Equipment Room at SoFi lists hours as 11:30 AM–6:00 PM daily when there’s no event, and it closes to the public on stadium event days. It sits inside the grounds at 1001 S. Stadium Dr., Inglewood, with guest access via the street entry at S. Prairie Ave and E. Arbor Vitae St and parking in Lot N. The store is cashless, takes tap-to-pay, and has a listed 10% sales tax on retail purchases, plus a 30-day return window for new, unused merchandise. Phone for the store is 424-541-9601.
If you’re on the Westside or coming from LAX, the dedicated Chargers Team Store in El Segundo is the quickest way to grab something that’s not in most malls. It’s at 2144 E El Segundo Blvd., Ste. C in the Chargers Commons complex, a short hop from the team’s HQ. Hours are Thursday–Saturday, 11:00 AM–7:00 PM, and the store includes an on-site jersey customization station so you can walk out with your name and number made during your visit.
Need a cap or a last-minute gift near the 405 without dealing with stadium logistics. Lids at Westfield Culver City runs custom embroidery in-store and keeps mall-friendly hours most days. The listing for 6000 Sepulveda Blvd., SP G8B, Culver City shows typical hours around late morning to evening and a direct store line at 310-391-0253. Culver City’s sales tax is 10.75% as of 2026, which is a real factor if you’re weighing where to ring things up.
For a one-stop sporting goods run, DICK’S Sporting Goods at 770 S Pacific Coast Hwy, El Segundo stocks Chargers gear through its Fan Shop, supports free in-store or curbside returns, and lists the team among its “Shop Your Favorite Teams” options. Plaza El Segundo posts store hours as Mon–Sat 10:00 AM–9:00 PM, Sun 11:00 AM–7:00 PM. El Segundo’s combined sales tax sits at 9.75% in 2026, which can shave a few bucks off larger purchases compared with Culver City.
| Option | Location | Typical Hours | Known Perks/Services | Sales Tax | Parking/Entry |
| The Equipment Room (SoFi Stadium) | 1001 S Stadium Dr., Inglewood | Non-event days: 11:30 AM–6:00 PM; closed to public on event days | Stadium exclusives; 30-day returns (new/unused); cashless; phone 424-541-9601 | 10% (listed by store) | Street entry at S. Prairie & E. Arbor Vitae; park in Lot N |
| Chargers Team Store (El Segundo) | 2144 E El Segundo Blvd., Ste. C | Thu–Sat, 11:00 AM–7:00 PM | On-site jersey customization; exclusive drops and collabs | 9.75% (El Segundo 2026 rate) | Retail center entry at El Segundo Blvd. & Nash St. |
| Lids (Westfield Culver City) | 6000 Sepulveda Blvd., SP G8B | Commonly late morning–evening; phone 310-391-0253 | Custom embroidery available in-store | 10.75% (Culver City 2026 rate) | Mall parking; Level 2 inside Westfield Culver City |
| DICK’S Sporting Goods (El Segundo) | 770 S Pacific Coast Hwy | Mon–Sat 10:00 AM–9:00 PM; Sun 11:00 AM–7:00 PM | Fan Shop carries Chargers; free in-store returns | 9.75% (El Segundo 2026 rate) | Plaza El Segundo surface lots/garages |
On game day or any stadium ticketed event, The Equipment Room shuts to the general public and only opens to fans already inside. If you don’t have a ticket, plan your shopping for a different day. On non-event days, the store runs 11:30 AM–6:00 PM and you access the grounds via the street entry at S. Prairie Ave and E. Arbor Vitae St, with parking in Lot N. Inside, it’s a two-level setup with elevator access, strollers allowed, and a posted 30-day return policy for new, unused gear with tags and receipt. The store is cashless and takes major cards and mobile wallets.
If you’re pairing shopping with a tour, the standard SoFi Stadium guided tour includes a $15 Equipment Room voucher. Tour tickets also include complimentary parking on tour days, which makes this a tidy combo if you want a stadium walk-through and a discount toward your jersey or cap the same afternoon.
One other practical wrinkle. The Equipment Room’s page states a 10% sales tax on purchases in-store. That’s below Inglewood’s general combined rate, but it’s the number the store posts and applies at the register. If you’re splitting a larger kit haul across stops, the tax patchwork is real. Culver City is at 10.75% in 2026, while El Segundo sits at 9.75%.
If you want a Chargers-only environment without stadium entry, yes. The El Segundo Chargers Team Store sits less than a mile from the team’s new headquarters and practice facility and focuses on exclusive drops you won’t find in a general sports shop. The published hours are tight by design: Thursday through Saturday, 11:00 AM–7:00 PM. Plan accordingly if you’re trying to beat Friday traffic or swing by before a weekend watch party.
The killer feature here is the in-store jersey customization. Whether it’s your own name or a new player whose stock just went up, the store can produce it on the spot during your visit. That’s a big advantage over shipping a custom jersey. Keep your receipt and tags if you’re on the fence, because custom pieces are excluded from returns per team store policy, and that policy is enforced at both locations.
Season Ticket Members should keep their membership handy. The team has said the El Segundo Chargers Team Store and The Equipment Room at SoFi both honor a 15% in-store merchandise discount for Season Ticket Members who present a valid Membership Card. If you’re loading up on gifts in December, that saves real money.
Lids at Westfield Culver City is the quickest stop from LAX if you’re grabbing a hat on arrival or fixing a last-minute fit before heading to Inglewood. It’s on Level 2 at 6000 Sepulveda Blvd. and offers custom embroidery on site, which is convenient if you want a nickname or short phrase stitched on a plain cap. Hours run typical mall patterns, and the store’s direct line is 310-391-0253. Remember that Culver City’s combined sales tax lands at 10.75% in 2026, which will nudge your total on a couple of caps.
For a fuller sporting-goods run, the DICK’S at 770 S Pacific Coast Hwy, El Segundo carries Chargers items in its Fan Shop and posts Mon–Sat 10:00 AM–9:00 PM, Sun 11:00 AM–7:00 PM. If you prefer ordering online and picking up locally, DICK’S supports in-store and curbside options at that address. El Segundo’s lower 9.75% sales tax can make a noticeable difference if you’re also grabbing cleats, training gear, or accessories for the week.
Two more local nuances that matter. First, plenty of strip-center sports shops around the county mostly serve baseball and soccer. If you’re venturing beyond these four options, call first to confirm there’s actual Chargers stock on the floor. Second, training camp in El Segundo includes an on-site Chargers pop-up shop each summer, which is a solid way to grab practice-specific apparel if you’re already headed over for autographs.
Jersey pricing is set nationally, but the tiers still trip people up. Think of it this way. Game is the entry-level Nike jersey line. The official Chargers online shop regularly lists Game player jerseys around $149.99 for current names in standard colors. Limited sits in the middle with more premium materials and stitched elements; Chargers Limited jerseys commonly show up around $174.99 online. Custom Game jerseys, where you choose the name and number, tend to price in higher, often around $189.99 before tax.
Elite jerseys mirror the on-field spec with advanced materials and fully stitched details. Availability cycles in and out by team and season, and not every player is offered in Elite in every colorway. If you’re chasing the premium tier, check the official pro shop and be ready for a bigger price tag than the Limited line. For any jersey tier, stadium stores may price slightly differently than the web, and in-venue exclusives carry their own price points.
Hats, tees, and hoodies track closer to standard brand MSRPs. Stadium exclusives and limited collaborations will run higher. If you’re watching the bottom line, the El Segundo DICK’S and the online Chargers pro shop both run periodic promotions, and DICK’S in particular makes returns easy if you’re between sizes. Factor shipping where it applies. Purchases made at The Equipment Room can be shipped for a $15 U.S. flat rate if you don’t want to carry a bag to dinner, while in-person buys at the El Segundo team store and Lids avoid shipping entirely.
Yes. On stadium event days, The Equipment Room is only open to ticketed fans from inside the building. If you want to shop without a ticket, go on a non-event day between 11:30 AM and 6:00 PM and enter at S. Prairie Ave and E. Arbor Vitae St. Parking for retail is in Lot N.
The El Segundo Chargers Team Store at 2144 E El Segundo Blvd., Ste. C operates Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Yes, they offer on-site jersey customization so you can leave with your name and number the same day.
Lids at Westfield Culver City, 6000 Sepulveda Blvd., is a short drive from LAX and offers in-store custom embroidery. It keeps mall hours most days and can stitch short text or graphics while you wait, with purchases subject to Culver City’s 10.75% tax rate.
It does. The SoFi Stadium Equipment Room posts a 10% sales tax on retail purchases. Culver City stores, including Lids, ring at 10.75% in 2026, while El Segundo shops, including the Chargers Team Store and DICK’S, ring at 9.75%.
When you’re choosing between stops, match your need to the strengths. For stadium exclusives and the biggest selection, go to SoFi on a non-event day. For custom work and Westside convenience, aim for El Segundo Thursday to Saturday. If you’re catching a flight or just need a quick hat with stitching, Lids at Culver City gets it done.
