USA | Airbnb has partnered with FIFA as a major sponsor for three of its upcoming tournaments, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Airbnb and FIFA have announced a major partnership spanning three tournaments to deliver unforgettable travel experiences to fans, alongside economic opportunities for local communities and valuable support for Host Cities. During the three-year partnership, we will serve as an Official Partner for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, an Official Supporter for the FIFA World Cup 26 in North America and an Official Supporter for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 in the Americas. Additionally, Airbnb will offer Official Fan Accommodations on its platform globally for these three flagship tournaments.
“The World Cup brings the world together, and so do we. Airbnb is proud to partner with FIFA to offer fans once-in-a-lifetime experiences during the tournaments, while welcoming hundreds of thousands of guests during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and driving meaningful economic impact for local communities,” said Brian Chesky, Airbnb co-founder and CEO.
“We’re delighted to welcome Airbnb, and we’re thrilled that it is taking on such a key role in the three groundbreaking tournaments coming up, ” added President Gianni Infantino.
“The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will be a defining competition for generations to come and will reshape club football. Meanwhile, the FIFA World Cup 26 will be the biggest tournament in history, with 48 teams competing across three host nations. Then, one year later, the Women’s World Cup will be held in South America for the first time. Having a travel leader such as Airbnb by our side is special. Together, we’ll continue to see football unite the world.”
Across the partnership, Airbnb said it will offer fans new ways to celebrate their passion for the game through travel, culture and connection. In addition to choosing from a wide range of affordable, high-quality places to stay, guests can now explore Airbnb Experiences led by locals that spotlight regional traditions, hidden gems and the spirit of the Host Cities.
