FedExField Parking Guide (2026)

If you still call it FedExField, the best parking advice is the same: buy the pass first, know your color lot, and seriously consider Morgan Boulevard Metro if you hate the postgame crawl.

Last updated: March 2026

Quick Facts

Stadium address: 1600 FedEx Way, Landover, MD 20785.
Current official name: Northwest Stadium, but this page is built for the FedExField parking query.
On-site rule: Commanders guidance says you need a pre-purchased parking pass to park in the official stadium lots.
Typical lot timing: Commanders guidance commonly lists lots opening at 9:00 AM, with the Red Zone opening at 8:00 AM.
Best Metro stop: Morgan Boulevard on the Blue and Silver Lines, about 1 mile from the stadium.
Morgan Boulevard parking: WMATA lists $4.95 daily parking on weekdays, but a $15 special event fee applies to non-Metro riders during stadium events.
Rideshare rule: the official rideshare area is in the Red Zone Parking Lot, accessed through the Prince George's Sports & Learning Complex off Sheriff Road.
Big warning: Commanders rideshare guidance says drivers should never approach on Sean Taylor Road, Garret Morgan Boulevard, or Arena Drive.

Parking Options Compared

Option	Price & Location	The Reality
Official stadium lots	Pre-purchased pass required. Lots are sold by color and letter.	Best if you want to tailgate or stay on property, but you have to know your exact lot before you leave or the approach gets messy fast.
Morgan Boulevard Metro	Morgan Boulevard Station, Blue and Silver Lines, about 1 mile from the stadium. Parking: $4.95 weekdays, $15 special event fee for non-Metro riders.	This is the local sanity move. If you actually ride Metro using the same SmarTrip, you avoid the special-event lot logic and skip the worst stadium traffic.
Official rideshare	Red Zone Lot via the Prince George's Sports & Learning Complex off Sheriff Road.	Works only if your driver uses the real route. If they try the obvious stadium roads, they can get trapped in one-way traffic and ruin the pickup.
Parent / quick drop-off	Official parent drop-off is also tied to the Red Zone Lot.	Better than random roadside drop-offs, but you still need to navigate to the correct zone instead of improvising near the gates.

Do not do this: do not tell a rideshare driver to just head toward the stadium. Commanders guidance specifically says not to approach on Sean Taylor Road, Garret Morgan Boulevard, or Arena Drive.

Game Day Tips

Best local move: if you are not tailgating, use Morgan Boulevard and walk the mile instead of spending that same time sitting in lot traffic.
Parking-pass rule: enter the name of your specific color and letter lot directly into navigation. The team explicitly tells fans to do this for the most efficient route.
Night-game warning: Commanders travel advisories can move lot openings earlier than usual, so always check your event page before you leave.
Rideshare rule: Sheriff Road is the plan. If your driver does not use the Sports & Learning Complex route, your pickup can go sideways fast.

The Exit Strategy

The biggest FedExField mistake is trying to beat everyone out in a car from the middle of the on-site lots.

If your priority is the ride home, Metro usually beats the parking lots. If you did park on site, do not expect a quick escape just because the game ended. Let the first surge clear if you can.
