The NFL has announced that the Jacksonville Jaguars will play the entire 2027 season at Camping World Stadium in Orlando while their home stadium in Jacksonville undergoes renovations. This marks the first time an NFL team will call Orlando home, even if just for a single season, and could be a pivotal moment in the city's evolution as a major sports market.
Why it matters
For years, Orlando has sought to establish itself as a major sports destination, hosting high-profile events like the Pro Bowl, college football bowl games, and international soccer matches. Hosting an NFL team, even temporarily, would be a significant milestone that could help elevate Orlando's profile and open the door for future opportunities to attract professional franchises.
The details
The Jaguars' one-season relocation to Orlando is seen as a win-win for both the team and the city. The Jaguars get to cultivate a new fan base in a major media market, while Orlando gains national exposure and the economic boost of hosting NFL games, teams, owners, and sponsors over several home weekends.
- The NFL announced the Jaguars' relocation to Orlando on March 31, 2026.
- The Jaguars will play the entire 2027 NFL season at Camping World Stadium.
The players
Jacksonville Jaguars
An NFL franchise based in Jacksonville, Florida that will temporarily relocate to Orlando for the 2027 season.
Camping World Stadium
The home stadium of the Orlando City SC soccer club, which will host the Jaguars' home games during the 2027 NFL season.
Steve Hogan
The CEO of Florida Citrus Sports, the organization that oversees events at Camping World Stadium and helped facilitate the Jaguars' temporary move to Orlando.
Liam Coen
The young, charismatic head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars who could lead the team to a potential Super Bowl run in 2027.
Trevor Lawrence
The star quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
What they’re saying
“For one season at least, Jaguars fans won't be exclaiming 'Duuuuval!'; they'll be bellowing out, 'Oooooor-lan-do!'”
— Mike Bianchi, Sports Columnist
“This is an opportunity for the Jaguars, yes. It's an opportunity for Orlando, absolutely. But it's also an opportunity for the NFL to see what Orlando looks like as an NFL city in real time.”
— Mike Bianchi, Sports Columnist
What’s next
The NFL owners must approve the Jaguars' temporary relocation to Orlando, which is expected to be a formality. The city of Orlando and Florida Citrus Sports will then work to prepare Camping World Stadium to host an entire NFL season, including upgrades to facilities and infrastructure.
The takeaway
This one-year experiment could be a game-changer for Orlando's sports landscape, providing a chance for the city to prove it can support an NFL franchise and potentially open the door for future opportunities to attract a permanent professional team.
