The biggest game in sports is officially heading to Music City. On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, the National Football League announced that Nashville has been selected to host Super Bowl LXIV in February 2030. The historic decision marks the first time the state of Tennessee will ever host the global sporting event, cementing Nashville’s status as a premier destination for major entertainment.
The Nashville host 2030 Super Bowl Nissan Stadium 2026 announcement was finalized during the NFL Spring League Meeting in Orlando, Florida, following a unanimous vote by league team owners and a formal proposal review by the Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee.
The crown jewel of Nashville’s successful bid is the city’s highly anticipated New Nissan Stadium. The state-of-the-art, enclosed multi-purpose venue is currently under construction on the East Bank of the Cumberland River and is officially scheduled to open its doors in February 2027.
By locking in the 2030 game, the NFL is continuing its long-standing tradition of rewarding franchises and municipalities that invest heavily in premium, modern stadium infrastructure.
“The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the great fan events in our history,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement celebrating the vote. “Super Bowl LXIV at the new stadium is the next step in this remarkable football journey. We can’t wait to put on an unforgettable show in 2030.”
Tennessee Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk echoed the league’s excitement, noting that the selection serves as a monumental victory for the local community. “This is an exciting moment for our city and our entire state,” Strunk shared. “We cannot wait for the world to see the energy, hospitality, and culture that make our city so special on a global stage.”
The addition of Nashville officially solidifies the NFL’s championship road map for the backend of the decade. Tennessee will become the 12th state in US history to host the game, joining an elite rotation of world-class venues over the next four years:
Aside from the prestige on the field, hosting a Super Bowl guarantees a massive financial windfall for the regional economy. When Nashville hosted the NFL Draft in 2019, it drew a record-shattering 600,000 fans and generated over $224 million in direct economic impact. Super Bowl week—which will feature marquee events like NFL Honors, the Super Bowl Experience, and Opening Night—is projected to easily double those numbers.
To kick off the celebrations immediately, city officials announced a massive, free Super Bowl Community Celebration scheduled for Wednesday evening on Lower Broadway, complete with live music, a coordinated drone show, and fireworks. With the corporate hospitality packages and priority ticket deposits already launching online, the clock is officially ticking down to Music City’s biggest night.
