  • Airbnb's single service fee paid by hosts is 15.5%. Airbnb Resource Center

Open your Airbnb calendar and set custom prices for the nights of January 22 through January 25, 2027, add a 3-night minimum stay that blocks single-night gaps, and skip last-minute discounts for those nights. Airbnb's own example shows a $115 nightly price earns $97 after the 15.5% single service fee.

Lock In the Right Nights

The championship game is on Monday, January 25, 2027. Visit Las Vegas describes championship week as six days in one championship city, with free CFP Fan Central running Friday through Sunday, January 22 to 24. The 4 nights that matter most are Friday January 22, Saturday January 23, Sunday January 24, and Monday January 25.

Open your Airbnb multi-calendar and select those 4 dates. Apply a custom price for each night. Airbnb says a custom price overrides your default nightly price and any Smart Pricing, so you do not need to turn Smart Pricing off to use one.

Build a Rule-Set for the Championship Window

Airbnb lets hosts create rule-sets that change pricing and availability settings for chosen dates. Once you apply a rule-set to a listing, Airbnb says it overrides any existing pricing and availability settings for those dates, and Smart Pricing must be off before you can apply one. Pick one method per night, a custom price or a rule-set, so the two never conflict.

Set a 3-night minimum stay for any check-in that falls on Friday January 22, Saturday January 23, or Sunday January 24, 2027. A guest who wants Sunday and Monday night must also book Tuesday night. That rule blocks a 2-night booking that leaves Tuesday empty and hard to fill.

Airbnb's pricing strategy guide says you can set a minimum night stay based on the day of check-in. Use that feature. A Friday check-in requires 3 nights. A Saturday check-in requires 3 nights. A Sunday check-in requires 3 nights. A Monday check-in can stay at 1 night because a Monday arrival already books the game night.

Early Bird Discount Math

An early bird discount rewards guests who book ahead. Airbnb's pricing strategy guide says an early bird discount can apply from 1 to 24 months before arrival, and Airbnb lets you apply discounts to specific dates. For championship week, limit any early bird discount to the event nights and pick a percentage you can afford.

Discounts stack after other pricing. In Airbnb's own rule-set example, a $100 nightly rate with a 10% increase becomes $110, and a 20% early bird discount then brings it to $88.

Turn Off Last-Minute Discounts

Airbnb offers a last-minute discount that drops prices for unbooked nights 1 to 28 days before check-in. Turn that discount off for the nights of January 22 through January 25, 2027. A discount on the nights guests most want gives away payout you do not need to give away.

Service Fee Calculation Table

Nightly Rate (Guest Pays)Host Service Fee (15.5%)Host Keeps
$100$15.50$84.50

Multiply your nightly rate by 0.155 to get the fee, then subtract the fee from the nightly rate to get the host payout. Airbnb's own service fee example shows that a $115 nightly price earns $97.

Why Minimum Nights Protect Peak Revenue

A 2-night booking that checks in Saturday and checks out Monday leaves Monday night empty. Monday night is game night, and a single open night is harder to sell than a full stay. The 3-night minimum for Saturday check-ins forces that guest to book through Tuesday morning. The host gets paid for 3 nights instead of 2, and no game-night gap appears.

Airbnb's high-demand hosting guide says extending your availability window is effective for big events, so make sure January 2027 is open on your calendar well ahead. Airbnb's pricing strategy guide adds that you can set a minimum night stay based on the day of check-in, which is the setting that closes the gap risk.

When to Set Your Prices

Set your championship week prices no later than October 2026. A listing with a clear price and a minimum-night rule appears professional and bookable. A listing with no custom price shows a default rate that may look too low or too high.

Review your prices on December 15, 2026. If the calendar is still open, compare your price with your own minimum acceptable payout before you change it.
