Airbnb is giving football fans a chance to get free tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup when they book selected stays in host cities.
The company said the offer begins on June 10. Guests will be able to book eligible Airbnb listings that include free tickets to World Cup matches in the same city where they are staying.
The promotion will cover several host cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico. It will run throughout the tournament.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup begins on June 11 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. It will be the first World Cup hosted across three countries.
Airbnb said the offer is meant to help fans follow the tournament while also finding accommodation close to the matches.
Select Airbnb Stays Include Free World Cup Tickets
From June 10, travellers can search for participating Airbnb homes in cities hosting knockout-stage matches.
The listed cities include Los Angeles, Boston, Monterrey, New York, Mexico City, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, Kansas City and Dallas.
Eligible listings will show a soccer ball icon. They will also include a highlight at the top of the listing page showing that free match tickets are included with the stay.
Guests can choose their travel dates, group size and payment method before confirming the booking.
According to Airbnb, each guest listed on the reservation will receive one ticket. After the booking is confirmed, hosts will give guests more details on how to access their tickets.
Airbnb said participating homes average $385 per night. The listings will be available during the dates when matches are being played in each host city, including the knockout rounds and the tournament final.
“Airbnb hosts don’t just offer you a place to stay — they provide a more authentic way to experience a destination,” Airbnb said.
“And this World Cup, they’re doing something extraordinary: helping fans follow their teams wherever the tournament takes them, with select homes including free tickets in every host city.”
Airbnb also confirmed that from July 16, fans will be able to book eligible stays linked to the World Cup Final at New York-New Jersey Stadium.
The promotion comes as World Cup ticket prices continue to be discussed before the tournament. FIFA has faced criticism from fans and supporter groups over rising prices and its dynamic pricing model, with some resale listings reaching millions of dollars.
