For 2026 FIFA World Cup, see how much you can earn on Airbnb
Airbnb has unveiled a new tool that allows hosts to find out how much money they can earn from renting out their properties during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Property owners could enter their information into a Host Earnings Calculator, including when, where and for how long they want to have guests, as well as the type of place being offered.
The tool examines similar listings nearby and gives an estimate of how much you can charge and what you can earn.

The World Cup, which opens June 11 and hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico, is expected to boost South Florida’s hospitality industry. Much of the benefits will go toward traditional high-end hotels. But short-term rentals, such as Airbnb or Vrbo, are also seeing increased demand.
Airbnb guests across the 16 host cities are estimated to account for about 2.7 million guest nights, according to a study by Deloitte Finance. Total earnings for hosts are expected to reach about $212 million.
Miami is one of the tournament’s host cities and holds four group-stage matches and three elimination-stage matches. All will take place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
The Deloitte Finance report estimates that of 164,000 tourists who visit Miami and seek accommodations, 31,000 of them will opt for Airbnb listings, for a total of 228,000 guest nights.
Average anticipated price for accommodations on Airbnb is $144 per night per person, the report forecasts.
Separately, the firm AirDNA, unrelated to Airbnb, has an online tool that gives hosts a way to estimate how much they can charge and earn from renting out their place during the World Cup.
The site, Discover Your World Cup 2026 Earning Potential, allows people to enter their addresses and research pricing. AirDNA, a data analytics company, says it will remain live throughout the World Cup for those who wait until the last minute.
The Miami area is expected to see large numbers of short-term rental bookings for group stage matches. While the 72 games are spread over three countries, South Florida has the two matches drawing the largest demand so far, and 4 of the top 10, according to AirDNA data.
Meanwhile, Airbnb said this week that for all U.S. host cities, the Flagami area in Miami has experienced the largest percent gain in bookings compared to one year ago, thanks to the World Cup. Bookings made in the first three months of this year for the duration of the World Cup, from June 11 to July 19, are up 631% compared to the first three months of 2025.
Airbnb doesn’t provide the number of bookings, so it’s possible the large percentage could simply reflect a small base.
Among neighborhoods in the Miami area, Allapattah and Little Havana are second and third in growth, or largest percentage gain in bookings.
Airbnb continues to give incentives to new hosts by offering $750 to those who welcome their first guests by July 31.
