In a unanimous vote, all 32 NFL owners have decided the Jacksonville Jaguars will play the 2027 season at a revamped Camping World Stadium in Orlando. The $400 million renovation to the Orlando stadium will expand capacity to 65,000 seats and modernize the venue's infrastructure and amenities. The temporary relocation will allow the $1.4 billion 'Stadium of the Future' renovation in Jacksonville to stay on schedule and uninterrupted.

Why it matters

The Jaguars' move to Orlando for the 2027 season is a strategic decision to keep the team's home stadium project in Jacksonville on track. While a temporary relocation is disruptive, the upgrades to Camping World Stadium will provide an NFL-caliber experience for Jaguars fans during that one-year period.

The details

The $400 million renovation to Camping World Stadium will include expanding capacity from 62,000 to 65,000 seats, a full exterior redesign, new concessions and restaurant areas, a terrace level addition, and modernized infrastructure. Orange County also approved an incentive package to help attract the Jaguars, including $10 million paid to the team and an additional $500,000 for up to two home playoff games.

• In April, Orange County commissioners voted 6-1 to approve the incentive package.
• A decision on where the Jaguars would play in 2027 was expected in May, but is now delayed to October.
