Nashville hosts – NFL owners voted on May 19 to award Super Bowl 64 in February 2030 to Nashville, marking the first time the game will be played there. The decision sets the stage for the 2027 opening of the Titans’ new Nissan Stadium and locks in the next four host cities thr
For a city that’s spent years selling music, food, and nightlife, Nashville just got a new kind of spotlight: the NFL’s biggest game.
During the league’s spring meetings on May 19, NFL owners voted to make “Music City” the site of Super Bowl 64 in 2030. It will be the first Super Bowl held in Nashville, and the announcement arrives as the Titans prepare to open their new Nissan Stadium in 2027.
“We are thrilled that the new Nissan Stadium will host Nashville’s first Super Bowl in 2030. ” Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement. “This is an exciting moment for our city and our entire state. We cannot wait for our community to experience an event of this magnitude and for the world to see the energy. hospitality. and culture that make our city so special on a global stage.”.
Strunk added: “Thank you to (NFL commissioner Roger Goodell), my fellow owners, and the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp for their partnership throughout this process. We look forward to bringing an unforgettable Super Bowl experience to Nashville together.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell framed the move as a continuation of what he called a “remarkable football journey.”
“The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the greatest fan events in our history,” Goodell said. “Super Bowl LXIV at the new stadium is the next step in this remarkable football journey. The vision of Amy Adams Strunk and the Tennessee Titans helped make this moment possible. With great partners at the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. and Tennessee Titans, we can’t wait to put on an unforgettable show in 2030.”.
The impending vote first surfaced in reporting on May 18.
Nashville had already been on the NFL radar before. The city hosted the 2019 NFL Draft, a stop that helped cement its image as a place where sports and big crowds can mix with a tourism economy built on entertainment.
And now, the NFL’s planning horizon is stretching farther than the next season. The Tennessee Titans are set to open their new stadium ahead of the 2027 season. The venue is expected to cost about $2.1 billion for a domed, state-of-the-art project.
Designed to attract the biggest events in both sports and music, the new Nissan Stadium already has the crown jewel of that calendar: Super Bowl 64.
Here’s what’s known about the Super Bowl site and the stadium that will host it.
The new Nissan Stadium is expected to open in February 2027, making it ready for the 2027 NFL season. Construction began with groundbreaking for the venue in 2024 after the 2023 season concluded.
The stadium is planned with artificial turf, a design choice that has drawn the ire of players over the years.
The building will sit next to the current Nissan Stadium and will be a short walk from Broadway, Nashville’s famous entertainment district, where honky-tonks line the strip.
The stadium will have a roof, but it will not be retractable.
While the NFL is not opposed to holding the Super Bowl in outdoor venues—as seen with Super Bowl 60 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California—the presence of a roof has been the league’s preference in recent years.
The cost for the new Nissan Stadium is about $2.1 billion.
Capacity will be about 60,000 seats, down from roughly 69,000 seats at the current Nissan Stadium. The Titans said the plan to reduce capacity is meant to ensure there wouldn’t be a “bad seat” in the building.
With Nashville locked in for 2030, the next four Super Bowl locations are set through the end of the decade.
Super Bowl 61 is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Super Bowl 62 will be in February 2028 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
Super Bowl 63 is set for Feb. 2029 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And Super Bowl 64 will take place in Feb. 2030 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.
The voting decision doesn’t just reshape one week in February 2030—it ties together the NFL’s long scheduling cycle and the Titans’ next-era stadium plan, landing the Super Bowl in a city whose identity is built on hosting crowds year after year.
