"A lot of the coverage of next summer's World Cup - set to take place in venues across the U.S., Canada and Mexico - has understandably focused on the ticket prices, which started high and are getting even higher. And for residents of the continent's host cities, whether that city is Atlanta, Guadalajara or Toronto, whether or not to buy tickets for a local match is a pressing question. But for soccer fans looking to travel, there's another big question: where to stay?"
"AirDNA, a company that tracks demand for short-term rental properties around the world, recently released a look at how demand at Airbnb and Vrbo has changed for host cities in 2026 compared to the same markets in 2025. The short version: demand is up almost everywhere, sometimes by a significant amount. Demand for short-term rentals around two late-June matches in Guadalajara, for instance, are both up over 2000% - yes, 2000% - year over year."
Short-term rental demand in World Cup 2026 host cities across the U.S., Canada and Mexico is rising sharply compared with the same markets in 2025. AirDNA data show demand is up almost everywhere, with Guadalajara matchdays showing increases of over 2000% year over year. Monterrey and Mexico City also report significant increases, while Oakland shows a small year-over-year decline amid rising interest in San Francisco and San Jose. Municipalities are modifying short-term rental regulations to balance supply and availability. Travelers should expect increased competition for listings and plan bookings earlier.
