NFL Names Nashville Host of Super Bowl LXIV at New Nissan Stadium

Nashville will use the award to finish a publicly financed stadium and scale hotel capacity ahead of the February 2030 game.

Overview

  • NFL owners voted to award Super Bowl LXIV to Nashville at the league’s spring meeting on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, approving the Tennessee Titans’ bid to stage the game in February 2030.
  • The game is slated for the Tennessee Titans’ new enclosed Nissan Stadium, a roughly $2.1–$2.2 billion, 60,000-seat venue with a translucent retractable roof that is scheduled to open by February 2027.
  • Local and state public funding plays a key role in the project with about $760 million in bonds issued by Nashville’s sports authority and roughly $500 million in state support alongside other team financing.
  • Nashville officials project the greater market will expand hotel capacity to more than 80,000 rooms by 2030 and are tying the Super Bowl to the East Bank revitalization and broader tourism growth plans.
  • League officials cited Nashville’s successful 2019 NFL Draft and long-term event strategy as reasons for selection, and the 2030 date gives the city three full NFL seasons to finalize operations and host-readiness.
