NFL to Vote on Jaguars’ 2027 Season Move to Orlando
The NFL will vote this week on whether the Jaguars should play their 2027 season in Orlando. The move would be temporary while Jacksonville’s stadium undergoes major renovations.
Proposal details
Under the plan, the Jaguars would host all home games at Camping World Stadium. Orlando emerged late last year as a leading contender for the temporary home.
Other locations considered
Gainesville’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at the University of Florida was also in contention. Local officials in Orange County had already approved a $10 million bid last year.
Economic impact
City leaders say a temporary relocation could generate millions for Central Florida. Officials expect benefits for hotels, restaurants, and local businesses.
Jacksonville stadium renovation
The Jaguars are undertaking a $1.4 billion renovation of EverBank Stadium. Construction is slated to finish in August 2028.

Organizers say the gathering will include a live DJ and food trucks. They are promoting the event while awaiting the NFL vote.
