NFL International Game in Australia
Friday 11th September, 2026
The NFL will play its first regular-season game in Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 11 September 2026, pitting the Los Angeles Rams against the San Francisco 49ers as part of a multi-year international push. This gives Airbnb’s PR team a chance to talk about demand for short-term stays, cross-border travel patterns and host opportunities in Australia as fans and teams arrive, particularly relevant for accommodation planning around Melbourne and broader Australian tourism.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong alignment — Airbnb can proactively showcase listing availability, host earnings opportunities and travel tips for fans, and reactively comment on surging demand, cross-border travel patterns and local hosting capacity in Melbourne and Australia.
