Super Bowl LXI 2027 Airbnb Pricing for Los Angeles Hosts

Airbnb rule-sets let you raise prices for specific dates, but Smart Pricing overrides rule-sets so you must turn Smart Pricing off for those nights. Airbnb's own example shows that a $100 nightly price earns $84.50 after the 15.5% single service fee, and a $115 nightly price earns $97.

Event Dates Every Los Angeles Host Must Block

The NFL and the Los Angeles Super Bowl Host Committee confirmed that Super Bowl LXI will take place at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, February 14, 2027. The Los Angeles Times reported the date and location in February 2026 after the NFL approved the stadium for the event. For a host, the booking window centers on three nights: Friday February 12, Saturday February 13, and Sunday February 14, 2027. Guests may also arrive Thursday February 11 or depart Monday February 15, so a host should treat a five-night window from February 11 through February 15 as high-demand dates.

Set Custom Prices for the Peak Nights

Airbnb gives hosts two ways to raise prices for specific dates. The first way is a custom price that you enter directly on your calendar for each night. The second way is a rule-set that applies a fixed price or a percentage increase to chosen dates. Airbnb explains that rule-sets let you set higher prices for holidays and events. A host who wants to charge more for Super Bowl weekend can create a rule-set that raises the nightly price by a chosen amount for February 12, 13, and 14, 2027.

One important rule from Airbnb: Smart Pricing overrides any rule-set you create. Airbnb says you need to turn Smart Pricing off to apply a rule-set to a listing. A custom price works differently: Airbnb says it overrides the default nightly price and any Smart Pricing, so a host can control Super Bowl weekend with custom prices alone.

Lock the Weekend With Minimum Stay Rules

A 3-night minimum stay for Friday check-ins protects the peak weekend from short bookings. Airbnb's pricing strategy guide says you can set a minimum night stay based on the day of check-in. A host can set a 3-night minimum for guests who check in on Friday February 12, 2027. That rule blocks a guest from booking only Friday and Saturday and leaving Sunday night open. The same host can set a 2-night minimum for Thursday check-ins and a 1-night minimum for Monday check-ins to fill the shoulder nights without breaking the weekend block.

Early Bird and Last-Minute Discounts

Airbnb offers an early bird discount for guests who book ahead, and its pricing strategy guide says it can apply from 1 to 24 months before arrival. That discount applies to the nightly price and shows a lower total to the guest. Airbnb also offers a last-minute discount for bookings made 1 to 28 days before arrival. A host who still has open nights in early February 2027 can set a last-minute discount to fill the remaining gaps. Both discounts work as percentage-off settings, and Airbnb lets you apply discounts to specific dates.

How the 15.5% Service Fee Changes Your Math

Airbnb's single service fee paid by hosts is 15.5%, so you keep 84.5% of the nightly price before other costs. Airbnb's service fee example shows that a $100 nightly price earns $84.50 and a $115 nightly price earns $97. Order matters when you stack tools: in Airbnb's rule-set example, a $100 nightly rate with a 10% rule-set increase becomes $110, and a 20% early bird discount then brings it to $88. Run your Super Bowl prices through the same order before you save them.

Comparison of Pricing Tools for Super Bowl Weekend

Plan Your Calendar Settings Step by Step

First, open your Airbnb calendar and navigate to February 2027. Select the nights of February 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Next, set a custom price for each night, which overrides Smart Pricing, or turn Smart Pricing off and create a rule-set that applies your chosen price to February 12, 13, and 14. Then open your availability settings and set a 3-night minimum stay for guests who check in on Friday February 12. Set a 2-night minimum for Thursday February 11 check-ins and a 1-night minimum for Monday February 15 check-ins. Finally, decide whether an early bird discount fits your booking strategy and set the percentage in your pricing settings.

What the Los Angeles Host Committee Means for Demand

The Los Angeles Super Bowl Host Committee notes that Super Bowl LXI arrives 60 years after the first Super Bowl was played at the LA Memorial Coliseum. The Los Angeles Times reports it will be ESPN's first Super Bowl broadcast, with a simulcast on ABC, and the ninth Super Bowl hosted in the Los Angeles area. For a host, a game with that much attention can pull visitors into town before Sunday, so watch Thursday February 11 and Monday February 15 as shoulder nights.
