Jaguars playing in Orlando
The Jaguars temporary relocation comes as the team undergoes major renovations at its stadium.
"The Jaguars couldn't ask for a better scenario than Orlando and Camping World Stadium as our temporary home in 2027," Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement. "This couldn't have happened without the endorsement of the league and team owners who approved our plan two years ago for a renovated Stadium of the Future in downtown Jacksonville."
Renovations will include a new protective canopy for the stadium, new communal spaces, wider concourses, new seating options and more.
Construction is expected to be completed in August 2028.
