[Airbnb]

The FIFA World Cup 26^TM is coming to 16 cities across North America in June. More than 1 million tickets have already been sold—and fans find out December 5 where their favorite teams will play in the first round of matches. We expect a surge in bookings to follow.

Is your listing available to book?

The FIFA World Cup 26^TM  is the largest single-sport event in history. Over 380,000 guests are expected to use Airbnb to find and book places to stay for the tournament. Hosts could collectively earn up to $210 million USD.* 

Matches will be held in these cities: Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Guadalajara, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Mexico City, Monterrey, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver.

Try these tips for attracting more guests:

• Add availability. Open all the nights you’d like to host in June and July 2026. The dates of local matches are highlighted on your calendar. 
• Adjust your calendar settings. Set your availability window to 9 months so guests can book now. Consider changing or removing your minimum trip length to allow short stays.
• Set custom prices. Consider competitive pricing for special events, which may help you get more bookings. 

You control your pricing and other settings at all times. Your results may vary.

Join your local Host Club to connect with other hosts, share insights, and stay informed about exclusive events for hosts related to the tournament.

The FIFA World Cup 26™ is definitely one of the biggest events to prepare for. It’s a good idea to start marking key match dates and host city schedules early, especially if you're planning travel or business activities around the tournament. Having your calendar organized in advance helps you stay ahead of venue updates, ticket phases, and major announcements.

@Shelly378 , I agree with you. I opened mine hoping someone will come to the city of Helen.

@Miki150 , that's great to hear!

How far is the nearby stadium from your listing?

Hello Bhumika,

My rental house is located 90 miles away from the stadium. But it's well known tourist place in Georgia state.

Thank you.

@Shelly378 , Thanks for sharing! Where is your listing located?

Do football fans frequently travel to your city for matches, even if the stadium's location is two hours away?

We are about 45 minutes from the Kansas City stadium.  We are struggling with how to price our small unit, which typically rents for $140 per night.  Any suggestions?

Hi, is it smart to turn off cancellations for that period? Can you do that? Or is the likelihood it will be rebooked at a similar price enough of an insurance policy?

You don’t need a car to attend the World Cup in Atlanta   You can take the subway (MARTA) from the airport much faster than a car. My one bedroom apartment is a 10 minute walk to the Candler Park subway Station in Atlanta. And 15 minute subway ride to the Mercedes Benz Stadium - no transfers. I have all 5 star ratings.  We have lots of dining and parks nearby. 

what should we charge?
