The Jacksonville Jaguars will relocate their home games to Orlando for the 2027 NFL season as major renovations begin on EverBank Stadium, the team announced<\/a> Wednesday. The temporary move is part of a multi-year modernization project to reshape the franchise\u2019s long-term home along the St. Johns River.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jaguars couldn\u2019t ask for a better scenario than Orlando and Camping World Stadium as our temporary home in 2027,\u201d Jaguars Owner Shad Khan said. \u201cThis couldn\u2019t have happened without the endorsement of the league and team owners who approved our plan two years ago for a renovated Stadium of the Future in Downtown Jacksonville, and we\u2019re especially appreciative of the support of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the process. We\u2019re also grateful to the team at Florida Citrus Sports that made this solution a reality that will benefit all, including Jaguars fans just a few hours away in Jacksonville. This is a win that everyone can celebrate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jaguars will play their non-London home games at Camping World Stadium, a venue that has hosted bowl games, neutral-site college matchups, and select NFL events.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the comprehensive evaluation of our 2027 season playing options, we are pleased that the NFL and NFL owners unanimously agree that Orlando is the location that best meets the needs of the Jaguars, our 2027 opponents, and the National Football League,\u201d Jaguars President Mark Lamping said. \u201cThis temporary relocation is a necessary and important step to facilitate the 2028 completion of Jacksonville\u2019s Stadium of the Future. We are deeply grateful to our fanbase for their continued support, patience, and enthusiasm during this interim period. We are also incredibly thankful for the support of Florida Citrus Sports, the City of Orlando, Orange County and other stakeholders for making this 2027 home for the Jaguars possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Camping World Stadium currently has a seating capacity of 60,219 and is expandable to 65,194. The venue opened as Orlando Stadium and has also been known as the Tangerine Bowl and Florida Citrus Bowl.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited for the opportunity to welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars and their fans to Orlando for the 2027 season,\u201d Florida Citrus Sports CEO Steve Hogan said. \u201cHosting NFL regular-season football is a major milestone for our city, and we\u2019re grateful to the Jaguars and NFL ownership for their belief in our community. Orange County and the City of Orlando have invested significant resources in our stadium campus, and the 2027 season will provide a tremendous opportunity to deliver a first-class fan experience and further elevate Orlando\u2019s standing as a host for major sporting events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacksonville will play its home games at EverBank Stadium in 2026 at limited capacity. The renovated EverBank Stadium is expected to be completed in time for the 2028 NFL regular season.<\/p>\n
