Direct answer
- EverBank Stadium is undergoing a $1.4 billion renovation described as the “Stadium of the Future.” The project began in early 2025 and aims to be completed before the 2028 NFL season. During the renovation, the Jaguars are scheduled to play the 2027 season at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, with the 2026 season played at the renovated home if capacity allows.[3][4]
Details and context
- Renovation goals include a 360-degree concourse, an energy-efficient facade, a large shade canopy, and a reduced capacity (dropping from about 67,000 to roughly 42,500–43,000 during peak renovation periods) with later expansion possibilities for special events. This work is intended to modernize facilities while maintaining official team and city involvement in funding and planning.[4][3]
- The name of the venue has seen temporary branding moments tied to sponsors and local partnerships. For example, there have been naming-rights discussions and a season-specific branding effort, but the formal stadium name remains EverBank Stadium under existing agreements through 2027, with other branding noted in related announcements.[8][9]
What to expect this year and near-term
- Construction activity is likely to affect seating, concourses, and amenities, with phased completion targeting specific sections first. External events around the stadium (pedestrian access improvements and infrastructure upgrades nearby) are being coordinated to minimize disruption to fans and local traffic.[5][3]
- If you’re planning to attend a Jaguars game during renovation years, verify the exact game-day location, start times, and any temporary access changes, since temporary relocations and reduced-capacity seating are recurring themes in the renovation timeline.[10][3]
Illustrative note
- A phased approach is typical in large stadium renovations: core spectator areas are upgraded first, with temporary relocation for marquee seasons, and full reopening aligned with the NFL schedule. This pattern aligns with EverBank Stadium’s described timeline and past renovation milestones.[3][4]
