Why it matters

The Jaguars' temporary move to Orlando in 2027 represents a significant shift in the team's home base, presenting both challenges and potential benefits. While it will require extensive planning and coordination, the team sees it as a chance to connect with a large fan base in the Orlando area and potentially grow their fanbase in the state's 14th-largest TV market.

Team officials say they have already begun working on the logistical details, including coordinating with sponsors, fans, and players' families. They view the Orlando games as a 'home game with a long commute' and expect strong support from both Jacksonville and Orlando-area fans.

What they’re saying

“We've already started. The emphasis obviously once we get closer to '26 will be on '26, but the ground floor can be laid, the foundation will be laid. We'll start working with partners and how we're going to operate timing and everything else so that when the season's over, we then can have the whole building, including our coaching staff, really involved in the details of how we're going to operate.”

— Tony Boselli, Former Jaguars player and current team official

“The reality is the state of Florida's population is massive and the NFL is an extremely popular sport in the state of Florida. We believe that there's an excess of 200,000 Jaguar fans who currently live in Central Florida.”

— Mark Lamping, President of the Jacksonville Jaguars

“Orlando games in '27 will be 'viewed like a home game with a long commute to the office.' No. 1, we think a lot of our fans will come down from Jacksonville. We think we have a ton of fans in Orlando. We also know that there's a ton of NFL fans here.”

— Tony Boselli, Former Jaguars player and current team official

What’s next

The Jaguars will continue working on the logistical details of playing in Orlando in 2027, including coordinating with sponsors, fans, and players' families. They will also focus on preparing for the 2026 season in Jacksonville before the temporary move.

The takeaway

The Jaguars' temporary relocation to Orlando in 2027 represents both challenges and opportunities for the franchise.
