Nashville is expected to be awarded its debut Super Bowl when NFL owners convene on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
The game would be played in the under-construction new stadium of the Tennessee Titans and would be the first Super Bowl played in the city. Super Bowl LXIV is scheduled for February 2030.
NFL owners are meeting in Orlando on Tuesday and Wednesday. A formal vote and approval of Nashville as the host city is expected. The Music City turned out fans in droves for the 2019 NFL Draft, setting what was then an attendance record for the event.
The new Nissan Stadium is a $2.1 billion, fully enclosed, 60,000-seat venue on the Cumberland River. The retractable-roof structure is scheduled to open by February 2027.
Teams constructing new stadiums have frequently been under consideration for hosting the Super Bowl, with Detroit, East Rutherford, N.J., and Minneapolis cracking the typical warm-weather city rotation in recent years.
In February 2027, Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium is hosting the Super Bowl for the second time. In March, the NFL announced Las Vegas as the host city in 2029 for the second time since Allegiant Stadium was constructed. Atlanta hosts in 2028.
