Jaguars Moving to Orlando for 2027 While New Stadium Gets Built

via the Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars are heading south. While Jacksonville tears down and rebuilds their stadium into one of the most impressive venues in the NFL, the team will play their 2027 home games at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

It makes a lot of sense. Camping World Stadium has hosted the Pro Bowl, major bowl games, and big-time events for years. Orlando is close enough to Jacksonville that the fanbase can still show up, and the city has the infrastructure to handle NFL gamedays.

The New Stadium

This is the exciting part. The renderings for the new Jacksonville stadium are some of the best we've seen from any team in any sport. This thing looks incredible.

The aerial view at night says it all. The stadium sits right on the water with a full entertainment district around it. This is not just a football stadium. This is a destination.

The exterior is exactly what we want to see from a modern stadium. Palm trees, open walkways, and a design that feels like it belongs in Florida. The nature area around the stadium is a perfect touch. It doesn't feel like a concrete jungle. It feels like a place you'd actually want to hang out before the game.

Inside the Stadium

The interior is where it really comes together. The roof structure is open and airy with a translucent canopy that gives you ventilation and natural light without making you feel like you're sitting inside a box. For Jacksonville's warm weather, that's exactly what you need. You get shade and airflow without losing the outdoor feel.

We are big fans of stadiums that get the balance right between covered and open-air, and this one looks like it nails it.

More Than Football

The Jaguars are building this to be more than just a football venue. The renderings show SEC games with a Florida-Georgia split crowd that looks absolutely electric.

And concerts. The concert rendering shows this place can transform into a world-class music venue. The bowl design and the open canopy would make for an incredible atmosphere.

Our Take

We're really excited about this. The temporary move to Orlando is smart and keeps the team in Florida while the new stadium goes up. And the new stadium itself looks amazing. The outdoor feel, the waterfront location, the nature areas, the multi-use design. Jacksonville is building something special.

We'll keep you updated on any news about the new stadium and the Orlando move as it develops.
