Airbnb rentals in U.S. World Cup host cities are surging, with prices up to 140% as fans flock to matches. Luxury rentals in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut can fetch up to
$240,000 for June 11–July 19, with many homeowners relocating temporarily to capitalize.
Occupancy is up sharply in suburbs like Montclair (+169% vs. 2025) and nearby cities, and prices are expected to keep rising as the tournament nears. Ticket prices also soar, with FIFA’s dynamic pricing pushing finals resale tickets above
$50,000.
Some fans are booking in smaller host cities like Kansas City, Dallas, and Houston to save costs, while hosts like Geoff Colleran in Foxborough can earn six-figure summer incomes. The World Cup is reshaping U.S. short-term rental markets.
