The Jacksonville Jaguars have received approval from NFL owners to play most of their 2027 home games at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The move has been in the works for years and is seen as a strategic decision to expand the team's fanbase and tap into the lucrative Orlando market.

Why it matters

The Jaguars have struggled to draw consistent crowds to their home games in Jacksonville, and this move to Orlando is an attempt to boost attendance and revenue. Camping World Stadium, home of the Citrus Bowl, provides a larger and more modern venue to host NFL games.

The details

Under the approved plan, the Jaguars will play 7 of their 8 regular season home games in 2027 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. The team's lone home game in Jacksonville that season will likely be a preseason contest. Jaguars owner Shad Khan has long explored options to grow the team's fanbase beyond its current Northeast Florida footprint.

  • The NFL owners approved the Jaguars' proposal on Tuesday, April 1, 2026.
  • The Jaguars will begin playing 2027 home games in Orlando starting in September of that year.

What’s next

The takeaway

The Jaguars' decision to play most of their 2027 home games in Orlando reflects the team's efforts to expand its fanbase and find a more suitable home venue than its current stadium in Jacksonville. This move could provide a boost in attendance and revenue, but also raises questions about the long-term viability of the Jaguars remaining in Northeast Florida.
