2026 FIFA World Cup Boosts Rental Demand in Host Cities

11/25/2025

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is driving a surge in short-term rental demand across host cities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, according to data from AirDNA, with bookings already climbing months before the tournament. Property owners are preparing for high occupancy and elevated daily rates, while guests face limited availability and rising costs. Hosts are advised to adjust pricing, enforce minimum stays, and enhance property amenities to maximize earnings. However, stricter local regulations and post-event demand drops pose challenges.
