Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium: Transportation Guide

Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, is hosting Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026. With large crowds expected and enhanced security measures in place, planning your route early is key to a stress-free game day.

Public Transportation Options

Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Light Rail & Buses

• VTA Light Rail is the most direct transit option for reaching Levi’s Stadium from surrounding cities like San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Mountain View, and Campbell.

• The Great America Station is the closest light rail stop, right beside the stadium.

• Expect extra VTA service before and after the game, but arrive early and plan return trips due to crowding.

• VTA buses also serve multiple Bay Area neighborhoods and can feed riders into the light rail network.

Tips:

• Use a Clipper Card, or tap with Apple/Google Pay where accepted.

Caltrain (San Francisco ↔ Peninsula ↔ Great America)

• Caltrain commuter rail runs from San Francisco down the Peninsula to Mountain View.

• Transfer to the VTA Light Rail Orange Line at Mountain View to reach Levi’s Stadium.

• Caltrain also offers joint Caltrain+VTA tickets for convenience.

Capitol Corridor & ACE (Heavy Rail)

• Capitol Corridor trains run from Oakland, Berkeley, Sacramento, and San Jose to the Santa Clara – Great America station, just a short walk from the stadium.

• Tickets and reservations are recommended — particularly on game day.

• ACE (Altamont Corridor Express) may provide limited service; plan ahead since schedules vary.

BART + VTA Light Rail (East Bay & South Bay)

• From East Bay (Oakland/Berkeley): take BART to Warm Springs/South Fremont, transfer to VTA light rail (southbound) to Great America Station.

• From San Mateo County/SF: take BART to Millbrae, then Caltrain south; transfer to VTA at Mountain View.

Driving & Parking

Driving Directions

Levi’s Stadium sits off Tasman Drive in Santa Clara and is easily accessed from major highways:

• From San Francisco: Take US-101 South toward South Bay / Santa Clara (~45 miles, ~1–1.5 hours on game day).

Game Day Parking
