There are various ways, but I would most likely put a beginning repeat barline at the beginning of the 8 bars, and an ending repeat barline at the end of the 8th bar.
See barlines in the pallet.
If you mean 3 times total, for players I would put a text instruction to play the 8 bars 3 times. you want MIDI I would use voltas and have the 1st volta repeat 2 times and use the open 2nd volta for the last volta.
