With the arrival of the 2026 World Cup, rental prices for apartments and rooms on apps like Airbnb and Booking.com near the three Mexican stadiums have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels, in some cases costing 10 times more than in the regular season.
In neighborhoods close to the Azteca Stadium, such as Xochimilco, Pedregal, and Coyoacán, a two-bedroom apartment that normally costs 2,500 pesos per night on Airbnb is now offered for over 25,000 pesos during match days.
Average prices per night
- Azteca Stadium Zone (CDMX): $15,000 – $45,000 pesos per night
- Akron Stadium Zone (Guadalajara): $8,000 – $22,000 pesos per night
- BBVA Stadium Zone (Monterrey): $6,000 – $18,000 pesos per night
Tourism experts warn that this phenomenon is normal in any World Cup host city and that Mexico is no exception, although they call on authorities to monitor that abuses are not committed against tourists.
