Thinking of Renting Your Home Out During the World Cup? Here's What You Should Know
Airbnb offers $750 to first-time hosts listing entire homes in 16 World Cup cities to meet surging demand before July 31, the company said.
- On Feb. 18, Airbnb announced it will pay roughly $1,000, or US$750, to eligible new entire-home hosts in 16 World Cup host cities before July 31, 2026.
- Demand for rental properties is surging as preparations continue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which runs June 11 to July 19 and is about 100 days away.
- Eligibility requires hosts to be first-time or have no active listings as of Feb. 1, 2026, and to reside within a designated zip code near a host city; there is some fine print to read before signing up.
- Local licensing and fees in Vancouver include a licence fee of $1,108 and provincial registration of $100, totaling nearly $1,300, while the City of Vancouver and B.C. government will not relax rules during the Cup.
- A scan shows some Vancouver listings listed at four and five times normal rates during the tournament dates, with Deloitte estimating Vancouver hosts could earn about $4,200 during the Cup.
