Nashville To Host Its First Super Bowl In 2030 At New Nissan Stadium

Nashville will host the Super Bowl for the first time in 2030, when Super Bowl LXIV is played at the New Nissan Stadium.

The National Football League announced Tuesday that team owners approved Nashville as the host city during the NFL Spring League Meeting in Orlando. The decision followed a review of Nashville’s proposal by the league’s Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee.

The game will be played at the Titans’ new stadium, which is scheduled to open in 2027.

“The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the great fan events in our history,” NFL Commissioner Roger 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, along with our great partners at the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. We can’t wait to put on an unforgettable show in 2030.”

The announcement caps years of preparation by the Tennessee Titans, Nashville officials and the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. Titans President and CEO Burke Nihill and Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. President and CEO Deana Ivey were among the Tennessee representatives who traveled to San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl LX to study how the Bay Area organized events surrounding the game.

Goodell had previously praised both the new stadium project and Nashville’s ability to host major events during the Steel Topping Out ceremony at New Nissan Stadium in November.

The Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. will serve as the lead event organizer, coordinating planning and partnerships with city and state officials. The Titans will serve as the host club, providing stadium resources and operational support.

“Hosting the Super Bowl is a defining moment for Nashville and Tennessee and reflects years of work to build Music City into a globally recognized destination for music, entertainment, and live events,” Ivey said.

Ivey said the event will give Nashville a chance to showcase its music, sports, culture and hospitality to a global audience.

“We are grateful to the NFL for the confidence they have placed in our community,” Ivey said. “Nashville has earned a reputation for hosting major events at the highest level, and we are ready to welcome the world.”

Gov. Bill Lee called the selection a “proud moment” for Tennessee.

“We invested in a new stadium with a vision for the future — one that brings major events, drives tourism, and fuels economic growth while creating new opportunity for communities across Tennessee,” Lee said. “I’m grateful for the partnerships that made this possible, and we look forward to showcasing all that our state has to offer on a global stage.”

Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell said the city has repeatedly shown it can host major events.

“Nashville is the complete package when it comes to hosting the nation’s biggest events,” O’Connell said. “Nashville has repeatedly demonstrated that top events succeed here because of the way we come together to offer an unmatched entertainment experience.”

O’Connell also said the city will work to ensure local residents and businesses benefit from the event.

Nashville’s 2019 NFL Draft drew an estimated 600,000 fans and generated $224 million in economic impact, according to figures cited by the Titans.

In addition to the game itself, Super Bowl week is expected to include NFL Honors, Super Bowl Experience, Super Bowl Opening Night and community initiatives, including NFL Source, the league’s procurement program for local and underrepresented businesses.

Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said the announcement is a major moment for both Nashville and Tennessee.

“We are thrilled that the new Nissan Stadium will host Nashville’s first Super Bowl in 2030,” Strunk said. “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.”
