Nashville Selected to Host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030 at New Nissan Stadium
Music City will host its first Super Bowl in 2030 at the new $2.1 billion Nissan Stadium, NFL owners announced Tuesday at their spring meeting in Orlando.
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE — The National Football League announced Tuesday that Nashville will host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030 at the city’s new Nissan Stadium. This marks the first time the championship game will be played in Music City since the Tennessee Titans began play in 1999.
NFL owners voted to award the Super Bowl to Nashville during the league’s spring meeting in Orlando, Florida, after a review by the Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee and a vote by team owners.
$2.1 Billion Stadium Development
The game will be played at the new $2.1 billion Nissan Stadium, expected to be completed for the 2027 season. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell praised the development as “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,” Goodell said in a statement.
Goodell referenced the success of Nashville’s 2019 NFL Draft, which he called “one of the greatest fan events” in league history. That three-day event drew 600,000 fans and generated $224 million for the local economy, according to NFL data.
Music City’s Growing Sports Profile
Deana Ivey, president and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp., described the Super Bowl selection as a “defining moment” for Nashville and Tennessee, reflecting years of effort to establish the city as “a globally recognized destination for music, entertainment and live events.”
“This event is an incredible opportunity to showcase the dynamic and creative character of Nashville to a global audience and to deliver a Super Bowl experience that is distinctly Music City, where music, sports, culture and hospitality come together in a way few cities can match,” Ivey said.
Titans’ Journey to Music City
The announcement comes nearly three decades after team founder Bud Adams moved the Houston Oilers to Tennessee. The franchise played as the Tennessee Oilers in Memphis and later at Vanderbilt University before adopting the Titans name and moving into the current Nissan Stadium.
The 2019 NFL Draft set attendance records when it was held in Nashville, drawing 600,000 visitors over three days. The economic impact of that event demonstrated Nashville’s capacity to host major sporting events and likely influenced the NFL’s decision to award the city its premier championship game.
Super Bowl LXIV will provide Nashville with its highest-profile sporting event since becoming home to the Titans, offering the city a platform to showcase its unique blend of music heritage and sports culture to a global television audience expected to exceed 100 million viewers.
