What happens when the FIFA World Cup match schedule is finally released and STR operators can see exactly which cities, matchups, and dates will generate the strongest travel demand and pricing power?
In this episode of Get Paid For Your Pad, Jasper breaks down the complete 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage schedule and reveals how different matchups, countries, and host cities are likely to impact short term rental demand. He explains why some cities may see modest lift while others could experience extreme ADR spikes and rapid sellouts. Jasper also walks through what early booking data is showing, why large homes are getting picked up first, and how hotel inventory plays a major role in determining rate ceilings.
Whether you operate one listing or one hundred, this episode gives you a clear understanding of which cities are positioned for major revenue gains, why certain national teams trigger massive travel waves, and how visa rules, travel distance, and domestic immigrant communities influence demand. Jasper also shares why some hosts are already underpricing their listings and how to prepare for the booking surge that will play out over the coming months.
You will discover:
• Which cities and matchups are likely to produce the strongest ADR lift
• Why countries such as Germany, Brazil, Spain, England and Argentina drive heavy international travel
• How smaller markets like Kansas City, Boston, Seattle and Philadelphia may outperform larger cities
• How visa requirements and travel distance affect booking timing and demand
• The pricing mistake hosts make when they try to fill early instead of letting demand mature
Jasper also explores why major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Mexico City may experience lower price elevation due to hotel supply, why knockout rounds could trigger extreme last minute ADR spikes, and how to track competitor pricing using ADR reports and tools like PriceLabs. He discusses how group travel agencies influence hotel demand, how domestic communities from countries like Ghana or Poland affect attendance, and why summer seasonality ensures most markets will still sell out regardless of matchup size.
