By now, Canada’s FIFA World Cup run has become the story of the summer.
After a thrilling tournament performance that has captured the attention of soccer fans—and plenty of newcomers to the sport—Canadians are eagerly looking ahead to the country’s next match against Switzerland. And while tickets have become one of the hottest commodities in town, a handful of lucky fans may be able to score them in a place they least expect: an Airbnb listing.
That’s right. Hidden among Vancouver vacation rentals is a special Airbnb stay that comes with six complimentary tickets to Canada’s upcoming World Cup match. The only clue? It’s located near a Vancouver park named after a very famous monarch.
The giveaway is part of a larger FIFA World Cup 2026 initiative from Airbnb that is helping put fans in the stands across all 16 host cities throughout the tournament. From the group stage all the way to the final, more than 1,300 tickets will be distributed through participating Airbnb stays, giving guests the chance to experience the world’s biggest sporting event from inside the stadium.
The concept feels perfectly aligned with the spirit of the tournament. Rather than simply booking a place to sleep, travellers can discover a home base that comes with an unforgettable match-day experience built right in.
Finding the listings requires a little detective work. Fans searching Airbnb for stays on match dates should keep an eye out for listings featuring a soccer ball icon at the top of the page. That’s the signal that tickets are included. Once booked, each guest in the reservation receives a ticket, with hosts sharing access details after confirmation.
As Vancouver continues to buzz with World Cup energy, the promotion offers a fun reminder that some of the tournament’s most memorable experiences may happen long before kickoff.
And for soccer fans still hoping to witness Canada’s historic World Cup journey in person, it might be worth spending a few minutes scrolling Airbnb.
After all, your next vacation rental could come with a seat at one of the biggest sporting events on the planet. —Noa Nichol
