Will the Jacksonville Jaguars call Orlando home in 2027? Here’s the game plan

Orlando might snag a slice of NFL action — the Jaguars are considering a temporary move while their home stadium gets a $1.4 billion glow-up.

Get excited, Jags fans — Orlando could soon be the team’s temporary home turf.

While EverBank Stadium undergoes its $1.4 billion makeover, the Jacksonville Jaguars intend to use Camping World Stadium as their home field for the 2027 season. The move still needs a green light from 75% of the NFL’s 32 owners, with a vote expected during a virtual meeting in early December.

Orlando City Council member Shan Rose told WKMG-TV she’s “been advocating” for the Jaguars to come to O-Town, though the team also considered proposals from the University of Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville and Daytona International Speedway.

So, how did Orlando score the win? Likely thanks to Camping World Stadium’s own $400 million renovation, which “will effectively render the entire stadium completely new” and boost its capacity to more than 65,000 by fall 2027.

A skeleton stands to the left of the doorway, and piles of colorful pumpkins — orange, white, and green — are arranged on both sides of the brick walkway. A festive wreath and smaller Halloween decorations complete the spooky, autumn-themed display under a cloudy sky.
