Gillette Stadium will host seven matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, drawing thousands of soccer fans over the course of the 39-day event. If you’re planning to catch multiple games between the opener on June 11 and the final on July 19, it’s smart to start thinking about where you’ll stay well in advance. Booking an Airbnb early gives you the best chance to avoid inflated prices and the traffic that’s bound to build as tournament excitement peaks.

The Best Airbnbs Near Boston's Gillette Stadium for Soccer Fans
Now, before you fall down the rabbit hole of looking at dreamy Airbnbs in Boston, first decide if you want to be in the city or closer to the stadium in Foxborough (which is roughly 20 or so miles southwest of downtown Boston). If you’re looking for a large house with extras like plenty of outdoor space, have a look at some of the options in Foxborough or nearby towns. I’ve also found a handful of rentals near South Station in Boston, where you’ll be able to quickly hop on the train out to Foxboro Station, which is adjacent to the stadium. On game days, the MBTA will have extra services; just keep in mind you won’t be the only fan coming in from the city.
We hope you love the Airbnbs near Gillette Stadium we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.
