London Update<\/p>\n
“The Jaguars\u2019 NFL-required games are currently slated to occur in 2027 and 2030 or soon after. However, the NFL has agreed to move that second NFL-required game to 2026 when EverBank Stadium is at reduced seating capacity. Moving that game to 2026, combined with the Jaguars\u2019 annual London game, will result in the Jaguars playing back-to-back games in London during the 2026 NFL season \u2013 one at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the other at Wembley Stadium,” the Jaguars said in a release. <\/p>\n
“As a result of the NFL\u2019s support, the Jaguars will no longer be required to play an NFL International Game in that second window, allowing for an additional home game in the Stadium of the Future at full capacity. This additional 2026 game in London was always a possibility per the stadium agreement struck between the Jaguars and the City of Jacksonville in 2024. With the two games in London in 2026, this gives the Jaguars, at minimum, a critical and opportune two-week, in-season construction window.”<\/p>\n

\u201cLast season was my first experience in London as head coach of the Jaguars, and my immediate takeaway was London is undoubtedly our home away from home.\u201d Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a passionate and knowledgeable fan base in London, built over time and still growing, and we\u2019re making a positive impact with fans throughout the United Kingdom as well. That\u2019s something our entire organization, starting with our ownership, has worked very hard to achieve and takes great pride in further developing each season. With two games in London in 2026, it\u2019s going to be great fun for our fans in London as well as for everyone in Jacksonville who will be making the trip. I\u2019m definitely looking forward to it, and I know our players are happy to return as well.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe heard loud and clear from our fans who said two seasons away from Jacksonville was too many, so we are delighted to be able to provide another season in EverBank Stadium to our fans,\u201d said Jaguars President Mark Lamping. \u201cComing off an incredible 13-win season of Jaguars football and with the reduced capacity, we expect demand for tickets to outstrip supply in 2026. We appreciate our fans\u2019 patience during the construction period and look forward to providing the state-of-the-art Stadium of the Future they deserve in 2028.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Immediately upon the conclusion of the Jaguars\u2019 2025 football season, Stadium of the Future construction ramped up, including expanded work on the exterior of the stadium and partial in-bowl demolition. Work continues constructing the expanded main concourse, which will provide a more convenient and safer navigation of the stadium by patrons in 2028. Steel trusses are also being installed around the outside of the stadium which will ultimately support the canopy structure that will cover and cool the facility.<\/p>\n
The schedule is determined and approved by the NFL and typically released in mid-May. Per normal protocol and consistent with all other Clubs, the Jaguars have submitted their scheduling requests to the NFL Office for consideration.<\/p>\n
