The countdown is on! Vancouver has been chosen as one of the host cities for the FIFA World Cup 2026, with matches scheduled to take place at BC Place Stadium in June 2026. As one of the most watched sporting events in the world, the tournament will bring thousands of visitors to the city - creating unprecedented demand for short-term rentals.

Why Demand for Rentals Will Skyrocket During FIFA
- Massive global audience: The FIFA World Cup is the largest sporting event in the world, attracting fans from every continent. Vancouver will see a surge in tourists, media, and event staff.
- Prime location: With matches hosted at BC Place, downtown Vancouver and nearby neighbourhoods will experience especially high demand for short-term accommodations.
- Limited hotel capacity: Hotels will fill quickly, leaving many fans to turn to private rentals for convenience and affordability.

If you own a property in or around Vancouver, you could benefit from:
- Nightly or weekly rental rates far above standard long-term rents.
