Football fans planning to attend the FIFA World Cup 2026 now have a unique opportunity to secure match tickets through their accommodation.
Airbnb has announced that selected homes across all 16 FIFA World Cup 2026 host cities will include free match tickets as part of guests’ stays, making it easier for fans to follow their teams throughout the tournament.
Bringing Fans Closer to the Action
The initiative covers matches from the group stage and knockout rounds all the way to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final.
Guests booking participating listings will receive complimentary tickets for every member of their travel party. These special stays will be marked with a soccer ball icon and highlighted on Airbnb listing pages.
According to Airbnb, participating homes average around USD385 per night and will be available throughout the tournament period.
Available Across All Host Cities
Fans can book stays in host cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico as tickets are released in stages.
The programme covers key tournament matches including the Round of 16, Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and the Final in New York/New Jersey. This gives supporters greater flexibility to travel between host cities while following their favourite teams.
More Than Just Accommodation
The initiative is part of Airbnb’s broader partnership with FIFA to create memorable experiences during the tournament.
In total, Airbnb expects more than 1,300 complimentary FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets to be distributed through guest stays and special promotions throughout the competition.
For hosts, the programme also offers a chance to connect football fans with local communities and create more authentic travel experiences beyond the stadium.
