NFL owners approve Orlando as temporary home of Jaguars for 2027 season
Key Points:
- The Jacksonville Jaguars will temporarily relocate to Orlando's Camping World Stadium for the 2027 NFL season due to ongoing construction of their new $1.4 billion Stadium of the Future in Jacksonville, with NFL owners unanimously approving the move.
- The Jaguars will play seven home games in Orlando in 2027, with the possibility of nine regular-season games and one preseason game at Camping World Stadium based on the NFL's 17-game schedule rotation.
- The team has agreements allowing multiple international games in London between 2025 and 2027, fulfilling NFL requirements for international play, while maintaining a one-year agreement to play a home game in London annually.
- Camping World Stadium, which has a capacity of just over 65,000, is undergoing a $400 million renovation to modernize the facility and accommodate the Jaguars, contrasting with Jacksonville's reduced stadium capacity of 42,507 during construction.
- Other potential temporary homes considered included the University of Florida's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and Daytona International Speedway, but Orlando was ultimately chosen as the best option due to logistical and renovation factors.
