Best places to stay during FIFA World Cup 2026
Cheer from the stands, relax like a local
Whether you’re traveling with friends to catch every match or bringing the whole family, a vacation rental offers more space, comfort, and flexibility than a hotel — with kitchens, living areas, and room to celebrate your team’s big win. Select U.S. cities are already booking fast. From soccer strongholds like Seattle and Miami to international hubs like Los Angeles and San Francisco, these Vacasa destinations offer great stays close to the pitch.
Atlanta brings Southern charm with a modern twist. Home to Mercedes-Benz Stadium (and one of the country's most passionate soccer fanbases), it's set to be a key World Cup host city. Whether you're staying downtown or in nearby neighborhoods, Vacasa offers homes with easy access to the matches and the heart of ATL.
Houston’s NRG Stadium brings Texas-sized energy to the World Cup stage. From lively neighborhoods to quiet suburban stays with space to regroup post-match, Vacasa has the rental for your trip to H-Town.
From the Westside to the beach, Los Angeles is packed with culture, cuisine, and, in 2026, world-class soccer. SoFi Stadium in Inglewood will host high-profile matches — and with a Vacasa rental nearby, you'll enjoy everything from local fanfare to a post-game backyard BBQ.
Fútbol under the Florida sun? Yes, please. With games taking place at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami's diverse culture and tropical energy make it a top destination. Book a vacation home with a private pool, ocean views, or space for the whole crew.
Sunny Silicon Valley will host matches at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, just outside of San Francisco. Book a rental near the Bay Area tech hub or stay in the city and make the most of the coast-to-pitch experience.
One of the loudest and proudest soccer towns in the U.S., Seattle brings electric energy to every match. Stay near Lumen Field or in nearby neighborhoods like Capitol Hill or West Seattle and soak up the World Cup spirit with a cabin or urban condo that fits your crew.
The U.S. cities hosting 2026 FIFA World Cup games include:
Yes, vacation rentals are a good alternative to hotels during the World Cup. Vacation rentals offer more space for groups, full kitchens to save on dining costs, and living areas perfect for pre-game gatherings. They're often more affordable than booking multiple hotel rooms and provide authentic local neighborhood experiences.
Yes, many rentals booked through Vacasa offer easy access to stadiums, based on location. Vacasa properties are available throughout many host cities, and many cities will be expanding public transportation during games. Enhanced transit options like light rail, shuttles, and metro lines will increase service, making stadium access easier from any neighborhood.
You should book a vacation rental for the World Cup 6-12 months ahead to ensure the best selection and rates. Prime locations fill quickly, and waiting until closer to match dates means limited availability and higher prices.
