FIFA World Cup 2026 Airbnb pricing data from 16 host cities

Pulled together a dataset of 16,000 active Airbnb listings across all 16 World Cup 2026 host cities (11 US, 3 Mexico, 2 Canada) — the 1,000 closest qualifying listings to each stadium, ranked by proximity. Compared June 11 – July 19, 2026 against the same window in 2025.

A few things stood out:

• Average daily rate is up 109% YoY ($216 → $450), but the headline number hides the more interesting story.
• Asking rates are up 145%. Booked rates are only up 48%. That ~56% gap across cities is essentially hosts pricing for a tournament that the market hasn't fully validated yet — a setup for late-cycle discounting if booking pace doesn't catch up.
• Mexico's hosts are the most aggressive (+184% YoY), Canada next (+117%), then the US (+102%).
• Peak single-day spike: +387% in Monterrey for Sweden vs. Tunisia.
• 28× price spread across the dataset — Mexico City's P25 sits at $49/night, Dallas's P75 at $1,403/night.
