8 Epic Airbnbs in Seattle To Book Now for the World Cup

As a mom with a soccer-obsessed son, discussion and research regarding the FIFA World Cup 2026 is common in my home. We are particularly excited that Seattle, one of the host cities, is not too far away from us. But with so much excitement around the upcoming sporting event, I’ve learned it’s essential to make plans early if you wish to attend. I’ve spent some time looking at various vacation rentals near Lumen Field (which will temporarily be named Seattle Stadium for the event), as well as a few other Seattle Airbnbs large enough for a family. The following are some of my favorites, as well as a few epic Airbnbs in Seattle that I recommend booking right away.
