Arena car park CHF 2.– per hour according to the operator (prices subject to change), not usable during ZSC Lions home games. Engrosmarkt and Aligro on home game days only, in limited numbers.
12 more car parks in the area without a published rate: price at the machine.
Calculated from the rates published by the arena, the city and operators, for the day and arrival time you choose, excluding public holidays. Only the machine on site is binding.
Three hours in the arena car park cost CHF 6.– on a day without a game. On home game days it is closed, and the alternative is a flat CHF 20.–.
🏒 Swiss Life Arena car park: up to 360 parking spaces, closed on home game days
Inside the arena is a four-storey underground car park with up to 360 parking spaces, depending on tenants. Yet on the very evening most people want to drive, it is no use to fans: according to the arena, the car park cannot be booked or used during ZSC Lions home games.
It is open to the public outside the season and on days without a first-team game, so also for concerts and other events on those days. Visitor spaces are on the 1st floor, entry height 2.10 m. In the calculator above, the “Home game” switch toggles between the two cases.
🅿️ Parking prices: CHF 6.– on other days, CHF 20.– on home game days
On a day without a game, the arena car park costs CHF 2.– per hour according to the operator (prices subject to change). Three hours for a concert evening therefore come to CHF 6.–.
On home game days this rate does not exist. The arena then provides “a limited number” of spaces on the Engrosmarkt and Aligro sites, at CHF 20.– per space, bought online in advance. For three hours that is 3.3 times as much, and the flat fee applies however long you stay.
📲 Reserve a parking space: on home game days, online and in advance only
On home game days, only those who paid beforehand get to park: the spaces on Engrosmarkt and Aligro must be bought online beforehand. The arena links to the purchase in its Infocenter. Turning up and finding a space on the spot is not foreseen.
On days without a game you simply drive in and pay at the machine. According to the arena, event organisers can order exit tickets for their guests.
📍 Parking nearby: Neumarkt (Migros Altstetten) before Letzipark
According to ConvivaPlus’s analysis of the City of Zurich’s official list (every car park on Zurich car parks), there are 14 public car parks within 1.8 km as the crow flies, with 2,298 parking spaces in total. The nearest with a published rate is Neumarkt (Migros Altstetten), 870 metres from the arena, with 247 spaces. Driving in on a weekday at 6 pm for three hours costs CHF 3.– there by the published rate.
The large Letzipark with 1,242 spaces is 1.9 times as far, 1,643 metres. It is free for up to 3 hours only while the shopping centre is open, Monday to Saturday until 20:00:00. Neither the city nor the arena says whether these car parks have space on home game days. For 12 of the 14 car parks no rate is published, so the machine decides. Which Zurich car parks are reporting free spaces right now is on the live board.

🚆 Park and Ride Altstetten: 69 spaces within 1 km
All the Park and Rail spaces around Altstetten station put together come to less than a quarter of the arena car park. SBB’s data set lists 2 Park and Rail sites within 1 km, with 69 spaces in total. The nearest, Zürich Altstetten Connex, is 751 metres from the arena as the crow flies.
Park and Rail is meant for rail travellers, and some sites have a minimum or maximum stay. The table shows what SBB publishes for each site. At the Hallenstadion, by contrast, the operator itself names a car park two minutes’ walk from the hall.

🚋 Getting there by public transport: the station P+R is closer than any priced car park
Coming by train is the shorter walk: the Zürich Altstetten Connex site at Altstetten station is 751 m from the arena as the crow flies, the nearest car park with a published rate 870 m. According to the arena, Altstetten station is only a few minutes’ walk away. The “Bändliweg” (tram 17, buses 78, 307, N17) and “Seidelhof” (buses 20, 31, N1) stops are just as close. The arena explicitly asks visitors to come by public transport, as it can only offer limited parking during home games and corporate events.
If you do come by car, the Letzigrund page, 2.3 km away as the crow flies, covers the same Kreis 5 car parks and Letzipark from the other side.
