Inglewood is a city in southwestern Los Angeles County, California, United States, in the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. As of the 2020 U.S. Census, the city had a population of 107,762. It is in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County, near Los Angeles International Airport.[6]

The Inglewood area was developed following the opening of the Venice–Inglewood railway in 1887 and incorporated as a city on February 14, 1908.[7] The city is a major hub for professional sports with several teams that have played in Inglewood's venues. The Kia Forum, an indoor arena, opened in 1967 and hosted the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association, Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League, and Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association until the opening of Staples Center in 1999. Two National Football League teams—the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams—have played at SoFi Stadium since it opened in 2020; the stadium will also host the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2028 Summer Olympics. The Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association began play at Intuit Dome in 2024.
