Airbnb Offering $750 Bonus for New Hosts in FIFA World Cup Cities

2/19/2026

Airbnb is offering its biggest incentive ever—a $750 bonus—for new hosts in 16 cities where FIFA World Cup games are being held this summer. To be eligible, the hosts have to offer up their entire home during the tournament, and they must welcome their first guests by July 31. The bonus payout is on top of the money hosts would earn from a guest’s stay. According to Airbnb, searches on their website for stays in these 16 host cities during the tournament have increased an average of 80% versus this time last year.
