Jacksonville Jaguars Plan 2027 Home Games in Orlando’s Camping World Stadium During EverBank Renovation

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to play their 2027 home games at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium while EverBank Stadium undergoes its multi-year transformation into the “Stadium of the Future.” Multiple outlets report the move is expected but still pending an NFL owners’ vote in December 2025. The renovation schedule keeps the Jags in Jacksonville with reduced capacity in 2026 (~43,500), followed by the temporary relocation in 2027, and a grand re-opening targeted for the 2028 season. 

What’s decided vs. what’s pending

  • Renovation timeline: Work ramps up after the 2025 season, runs through 2027, with completion aimed for August 2028.

  • 2026 season in Jax (limited seats): EverBank Stadium expected to operate around 43,500 capacity during construction.

  • 2027 venue: Reports indicate Camping World Stadium (Orlando) is the intended temporary home; final approval requires an NFL owners’ vote (December 2025).

Why Orlando?

  • NFL-ready venue: Camping World Stadium has hosted the NFL Pro Bowl and other major events; it’s undergoing its own $400M upgrade slated to finish in early 2027, aligning with the Jags’ needs.

  • Capacity & location: A regional option within driving distance for most North Florida fans, while tapping Central Florida’s visitor base. (~60,000 seating, depending on configuration.)

Key dates for fans

  • 2025: Construction begins post-season; business as (mostly) usual.

  • December 2025: NFL owners vote expected on Orlando 2027 plan.

  • 2026: EverBank capacity temporarily reduced (~43.5k).

  • 2027: Home games in Orlando (pending approval).

  • 2028: Renovated EverBank Stadium reopens in Jacksonville.

What the “Stadium of the Future” includes

The modernization aims for more shade, improved heat mitigation (~70% reduction), 360-degree concourse, enhanced vertical circulation, and upgraded football ops spaces; with the city and team sharing costs as part of a long-term lease to keep the Jags in Jacksonville.
