The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to Disney World! The Jaguars will play most of their 2027 home games in Orlando after NFL owners rubber-stamped a proposal Tuesday that has been years in the making and essentially a done deal for months. Owners voted unanimously at the league's annual meetings in Arizona to allow the team to temporary relocate next year’s home slate during the final stages of a $1.
4 billion stadium renovation. Jacksonville started searching for a home away from home when it unveiled plans for a “stadium of the future” in 2023. The Jags considered playing at Daytona International Speedway, at Florida Field in Gainesville and at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
Camping World was always the front-runner. And it became a no-brainer when Orlando leaders cleared a $10 million sports-incentive package to help land the Jaguars earlier this year. The aging stadium also is undergoing a $400 million facelift — a project that will give the venue a modernized, NFL-friendly infrastructure.
“I look at it as an exciting opportunity,” Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said. “You have a chance to breach a region of the state that you otherwise wouldn’t have the luxury of doing. ” The Jaguars are scheduled to play 10 home games in 2027, including a preseason exhibition.
