NFL Owners Unanimously Approve Camping World Stadium as Temporary Home for Jaguars in 2027 The Jacksonville Jaguars will temporarily relocate most of their 2027 home games to Orlando, Florida, after NFL owners approved the plan during their annual meeting in Phoenix. The decision, which was expected for months, allows the team to play 10 home games in the city during the final stages of a $1.4 billion stadium renovation in Jacksonville. The Jaguars will also host a preseason exhibition in Orlando, with up to three additional games in London, where they will continue their international schedule amid ongoing construction at EverBank Stadium. The move was finalized after NFL owners voted unanimously to grant the Jaguars temporary use of Camping World Stadium, a venue undergoing a $400 million facelift. Orlando officials had previously approved a $10 million sports-incentive package to secure the deal, which positions the city as a potential long-term NFL market. The aging stadium, which has hosted NFL games for decades, will be modernized to meet the league’s standards, including improved seating, technology, and infrastructure. The Jaguars had explored several alternatives for their temporary home, including Daytona International Speedway and Florida Field in Gainesville, but Camping World remained the top choice. General Manager James Gladstone emphasized the opportunity to expand the team’s reach, stating, “You have a chance to breach a region of the state that you otherwise wouldn’t have the luxury of doing.” The decision also aligns with the team’s broader strategy to grow its fan base, as Orlando is the largest U.S. media market without an NFL team. The Jaguars’ 2027 schedule will include seven to eight NFL games in Orlando, featuring in-state matchups against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins.#nfl #orlando #jaguars #camping_world_stadium #everbank_stadium
