The Jacksonville Jaguars

How the Jaguars' 2026 season stands, how many seats EverBank Stadium holds during the rebuild, where the team plays in 2027 and what the city has approved for its stadium.


Short answer: The Jaguars are 4-2 in 2026 after two games in London and return to EverBank Stadium on November 1 against Indianapolis. The team has cut stadium capacity to 42,465 seats for 2026 while the Stadium of the Future is built, will use Camping World Stadium in Orlando for its 2027 home season, and gives August 2028 for the reopening of the city-owned stadium.

How are the Jaguars doing in the 2026 season?

The Jaguars are 4-2 after six games, with wins over Cleveland, New England, Cincinnati and Philadelphia and losses at Denver and to Houston in London, by the team's own schedule (Jaguars schedule).

Week 7 is a bye, and the Jacksonville return comes in week 8, Sunday, November 1, at 1:00 PM against Indianapolis at EverBank Stadium (Jaguars schedule). A Monday night home game against Pittsburgh follows on December 14 at 8:15 PM, and the Washington home date is still listed as to be determined. One inconsistency on the team's own page: its London note calls the Eagles game Week 4 and the Texans game Week 5, while the schedule grid on the same page lists them as weeks 5 and 6.

Last verified: October 18, 2026, by rereading the Jaguars schedule after the Wembley result, the team's stadium construction FAQ, the city's venue list and 2024 financial report, and three sets of City Council legislation records on the stadium.

Which Jaguars games are left on the 2026 schedule, and where can fans watch?

Eleven games remain after the bye: four more at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville and seven on the road, ending at Indianapolis in week 18 (Jaguars schedule).

The home dates are the Colts on November 1 at 1:00 PM on CBS47, the Titans on Sunday, November 29 at 4:05 PM on CBS47, the Steelers on Monday, December 14 at 8:15 PM on CBS47 and ESPN, and the Commanders in week 17 with the date and time still listed as TBD (Jaguars). The road run starts with a Thursday night game at Baltimore on November 5 at 8:15 PM on FOX30 and Amazon Prime, then Tennessee on November 15, the New York Giants on November 22 and Chicago on December 6.

December brings Houston on December 20 and a Sunday night game at Dallas on December 27 at 8:20 PM on NBC, by the team's listing (Jaguars schedule). The team page names the Houston venue Reliant Stadium. Every remaining game, home or away, lists the Jaguars radio network on 1010XL, 92.5 FM and 99.9 FM, and the page links single game tickets, parking maps and the bag policy for EverBank Stadium.

How many seats does EverBank Stadium have during the 2026 rebuild?

The Jaguars put 2026 capacity at 42,465 after permanent seat removal and temporary seating, with 27,308 seats offline, 22,005 of them in the 400 level upper bowl (Jaguars Stadium of the Future FAQ).

The team lists the other closed areas as the 200 level corners over the tunnels, select rows in the North End Zone, lower-level South End Zone seating, lower-level Club seats and the Terrace Suite, plus the North End Zone spa deck and Sky Patio (Jaguars). It expects traffic and parking to be comparable to 2025, with a similar number of lots.

Those figures differ sharply from the city's description of the building. The City of Jacksonville venue list still describes EverBank Stadium, built by Haskell and opened in 1995, with 64,000 seats that can expand to more than 83,000 (City of Jacksonville). The city page gives no date for its figures, while the team's 42,465 is its 2026 construction season number. For gate access, the team says Grand Staircase One near Gate 1 opened in October 2025, staircases near Gates 2 and 3 join it this season, and the Gate 4 staircase should open later in the season (Jaguars FAQ).

How can fans get to EverBank Stadium without driving downtown?

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority runs the Gameday Xpress shuttle to EverBank Stadium from five park-and-ride lots; for the 2025 season passes cost $10 from the downtown Jacksonville lots and $15 from the suburban ones, sold in the MyJTA app (JTA).

The 2025 lots were the Kings Avenue Parking Garage at 1201 Kings Ave., with continuous service, and the FSCJ Downtown Campus at 900 N. Laura St.; the Beaches lot at Wingate, 278 Penman Rd.; the Southside JTB Park-n-Ride at 7000 Philips Hwy.; and the Northside Armsdale Park-n-Ride at 3191 Armsdale Rd. (JTA Gameday Xpress 2025). For a 1 p.m. kickoff, service began at 11 a.m., and the last buses left one hour after the game ended. No 2026 Gameday Xpress announcement was found for this page, so the 2025 prices and lots are the latest the JTA has published here.

The JTA reported that the shuttle carried 3,426 Jaguars fans for a Monday night game in October 2025, the highest ridership of that season and the largest since 2019 (JTA).

Where will the Jaguars play in 2027?

In Orlando: the team says the 32 NFL owners unanimously approved, on March 31, 2026, a temporary one-year lease with Florida Citrus Sports for the Jaguars to use Camping World Stadium during the 2027 season (Jaguars).

An Associated Press report on the league's own site, NFL.com, confirms the unanimous vote at the owners' annual meetings in Arizona and adds that the team can play up to three 2027 home games in London (NFL.com). The team's explanation is that fans at its 2023 community huddles preferred only one season away from Jacksonville, and that a four-year start and stop renovation between seasons would have raised total costs by upwards of $190 million, by the team's estimate (Jaguars Stadium of the Future FAQ). Construction began in February 2025, after the 2024-25 season, and the team gives August 2028 for the grand opening.

Other Jacksonville stadium events move too. The team FAQ says the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl stays at EverBank Stadium in December 2026, then plays at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville in December 2027 or January 2028 before returning for the first game in the new building (Jaguars). The Florida-Georgia game guide at /florida/jacksonville/sports/florida-georgia-game/ follows that rivalry's two seasons away.

What has the City of Jacksonville approved for the Jaguars' stadium?

Before the current rebuild, the City Council approved $5,800,000 of borrowing, 18-1 on June 23, 2020, for repairs and improvements to the stadium, then called TIAA Bank Field (City Council records).

That ordinance, 2020-0263-E, added the money to a capital project titled Building Systems, TIAA Bank Field (Jacksonville City Council legislation). Earlier in 2020, ordinance 2020-0062-E, approved 19-0 on February 25, appropriated $3,065,190.23 of available funding in the Sports Complex Capital Subfund flex field and amphitheater project to balance budgets to actuals, and transferred funding in a capital project titled Everbank Field Improvements Amend 14 (City Council records). The Council record for ordinance 2020-0648, the Lot J development deal that included Amendment Number 15 to the Jaguars lease to remove Parking Lot J from the leased premises, lists it as Denied, with the January 12, 2021 floor vote recorded as 12-7, Failed (City Council records).

The city's fiscal 2024 report explains the accounts. Its Sports Complex Capital Fund covers maintenance and upkeep for the municipal stadium, baseball stadium and arena, and in 2017 the stadium's separate fund was combined with the arena, baseball stadium, performing arts, convention center and Ritz Theater funds into one Venues Fund (City of Jacksonville ACFR). The same report lists a construction commitment of 527 thousand dollars for Municipal Stadium Renovations, 2024. The team's own FAQ calls it the city-owned stadium (Jaguars), and the cost split of the current rebuild is on the Jacksonville sports hub at /florida/jacksonville/sports/.

What will the finished Jacksonville stadium look like?

The Jaguars describe a stadium with a base capacity of more than 63,000 that can expand to more than 70,000, under a canopy made from a composite polymer called ViewScape (Jaguars FAQ).

The team says the canopy material is more transparent than the ETFE used in many stadiums and is shaped to draw passive cooling from prevailing winds, and that the building is designed for NFL games as well as the Florida-Georgia game, the Gator Bowl, international sporting events and large concerts (Jaguars). This season fans can see steel trusses going up around the outside to carry that canopy, new lookout decks at the 200 level corners, including one facing downtown Jacksonville, and work on field level suites.

Local hiring is part of the team's account. It reports more than 140 local contractors and subcontractors on site and an average of more than 700 local employees each day, and says it works with the City of Jacksonville's Jacksonville Small and Emerging Business division to find certified local firms to bid (Jaguars Stadium of the Future FAQ).
