Overview
- New entire-home hosts who complete their first qualifying reservation by July 31, 2026 are eligible for a one-time $750 USD reward across the 16 World Cup host-city zones.
- Deloitte projects average host earnings of roughly $3,000 in tournament cities, with estimates around $5,700 for New York/New Jersey, $5,100 for Los Angeles, and up to $4,400 for Dallas–Fort Worth.
- Toronto coverage highlights municipal rules requiring hosts to register short-term rentals with the city, which says it investigates bylaw violations and pursues enforcement when needed.
- Local reports cite intense demand, including Arlington hotel sellouts and sharply higher nightly rates, as Airbnb seeks to expand inventory during the June–July 2026 event.
- Eligibility details include no active Airbnb listings as of Feb. 1, 2026, entire-home listings in designated zones, a minimum reservation value, and a limit of one reward per host, with advocacy groups warning of condo restrictions and housing impacts in Toronto.
