News relating to the Jacksonville Jaguars potentially playing regular-season home games in Orlando in 2027 may be coming very soon. Florida Citrus Sports CEO Steve Hogan shared with reporters Thursday the optimism surrounding Camping World Stadium hosting the Jags while their own stadium undergoes renovation. “We expect very soon,” said Hogan. “Obviously, they’re in a playoff game this weekend, which is super exciting for them. The team has been amazingly successful. To think we might have an opportunity to be their solution in 2027 is very exciting.” “I would say stay tuned. You have to finish your season before you can talk about anything like that publicly,” Hogan added. “So our expectation is, hopefully, they go on a Super Bowl run, and we can wait. But if not, hopefully, we’ll celebrate some official news on that really soon.” When asked if an announcement would occur before the summer, Hogan was confident. “I’d be really shocked if there’s no news on that and it’s not official for us or Gainesville or any other option well before the World Cup kicks off,” said Hogan. “This is something that, as the NFL comes to a close, it’s probably time to make things official.” Last November, Orlando City Commissioner Shan Rose told WESH 2 that the Jags have expressed their intentions to the city of Orlando about playing at Camping World Stadium in 2027. Camping World Stadium is expected to undergo a $400 million renovation this year ahead of the expected NFL news. Part of those renovations includes replacing the stadium’s two upper decks and expanding seating to 65,000. EverBank Stadium, the current home of the Jaguars, is also expected to undergo a $1.4 billion renovation, which will force the team to relocate in 2027 during the construction. Renovations at EverBank Stadium are expected to be completed in August 2028. NFL owners will have to vote on the Jaguars playing in Orlando before it can be officially announced.
