The Jacksonville Jaguars will temporarily relocate to Orlando for the 2027 NFL season while their home stadium, EverBank Stadium, undergoes a $1.4 billion renovation. The team will play its home games at Camping World Stadium during the one-year move, which was unanimously approved by NFL owners.

Why it matters

The temporary relocation to Orlando is a necessary step to facilitate the extensive renovations planned for EverBank Stadium, which will transform the 27-year-old venue into a modern, state-of-the-art facility capable of hosting major events like the Super Bowl. The move will allow the Jaguars to continue playing while their home stadium is upgraded.

The details

The Jaguars' one-year relocation to Orlando was finalized during league meetings in Arizona, with team owner Shad Khan praising Camping World Stadium as the 'best meets the needs' for the team, its opponents, and the NFL. EverBank Stadium will remain in use during the 2026 season but with a reduced capacity of around 43,500 due to construction. The $1.4 billion renovation project will increase the stadium's overall size by about 400% and introduce modern amenities and technology.

This couldn't have happened without the endorsement of the league and team owners who approved our plan two years ago for a renovated Stadium of the Future in Downtown Jacksonville, and we're especially appreciative of the support of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the process.”

“Following the comprehensive evaluation of our 2027 season playing options, we are ‌pleased ⁠that the NFL and NFL owners unanimously agree that Orlando is the location that best meets the needs of the Jaguars, our 2027 opponents, and the National Football League.
