4 Epic Airbnbs in Atlanta to Book Now for the World Cup

Attending a World Cup match is a lifelong dream for many soccer fans. If you fall into this category, you're likely excited about the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. This event will be special, as three countries (Canada, Mexico, and the United States) will host it, providing people a greater chance of catching at least one match. In the U.S., matches will happen across eleven cities, including beautiful Atlanta.

The Georgian capital will witness seven matches that will be played at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium between June 15 and July 7, 2026. Fans hoping to go to any of these matches should book accommodations as soon as possible, since many hotels and home rentals are already sold out for that time period. Sure, you'll probably find something somewhere in the city even if you book late, but anything that's close to the stadium likely won't have availability. Instead of dealing with traffic, parking, and overpriced Ubers, check out these four Airbnbs that are perfect for World Cup fans. They're all within walking distance of the stadium, and still have most or all of the Atlanta match dates open for booking.

1. Budget-Friendly One-Bedroom Apartment

World Cup match tickets are very expensive. For Atlanta, they cost between $1,450 and $2,250, leaving little space left in many fans' budgets for accommodations. If this is the case for you, and you're traveling alone or with one other person, consider this affordable one-bedroom apartment that costs $471 per night. That’s a pretty good price, especially since it's close enough to the stadium that you'll be able to reach it on foot. Although the apartment is within a larger house, it has a separate private entrance. Don't expect a five-star experience. You won't have a kitchen or much space for hanging out, but you'll be safe and comfortable, which is what really matters. Take this as an opportunity to spend less time at the apartment and more time exploring cool attractions like the Atlanta Beltline urban trail, the Georgia Aquarium, or the expansive Piedmont Park.

2. Cozy Two-Bedroom Independent House 

If you’re coming in a group of up to five people, this two-bedroom house is a great accommodation option. The stadium is around 0.5 miles, or a ten-minute walk away. Can’t leave Fido behind? That’s no issue at all, as pets are welcome at the house with prior approval. You'll have a full kitchen and other basic essentials to make your trip a bit easier. The property isn't overly fancy, yet it has great reviews (4.89 stars from 189 reviews), and only costs $695 per night. Its only issue might be that there are only two beds, so the fifth person will have to sleep on the sofa.

3. Three-Bedroom House With a Backyard

Soccer fans looking to actually spend time at their Airbnb will want a cozy place like this three-bedroom house with a backyard. The space holds six guests, has two bathrooms, and offers a fully-equipped kitchen that will help you reduce meal expenses during the trip. Like every rental on this list, it’s within walking distance of the stadium. Rather than spending time in traffic, you can plan a BBQ in the communal fire pit that’s shared with neighbors, or chill in the backyard until it’s time to head over to the stadium. Just be aware that the yard space is not fenced in, so it's not completely private. At about $1,173 per night for the World Cup dates, this is the most expensive of our recommended rentals. The high price is to be expected, given that Atlanta is one of 2026's hottest destinations.

4. Four-Bedroom House for Large Groups

Groups of friends coming together to catch the FIFA World Cup matches in Atlanta can stay in this four-bedroom house that fits eight guests. With five beds and three full bathrooms, the rental is ideal for large groups who want to avoid fights over who gets to shower first. Because the house is only a five-minute walk to the stadium, it's possible to wait until the last minute to start heading out for the game. This Airbnb is around $857 per night, and is available on most days when the Atlanta matches take place. Besides a full kitchen, it has a closed porch area where you can hang out in the afternoon with a cold beer in hand.
