Nashville will host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030, the NFL officially announced Tuesday at the NFL Spring League Meeting in Orlando.
Super Bowl LXIV will be played at the new Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., which is slated to open in the summer of 2027. The venue will seat 60,000 and will also be the new home of the Tennessee Titans.
“The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the greatest fan events in our history,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “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. With great partners at the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. and Tennessee Titans, we can’t wait to put on an unforgettable show in 2030.”
Super Bowl LXIV is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, February 10, 2030, barring any changes to the NFL’s calendar. The game will mark the first-ever Super Bowl played in Nashville.
“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,” said Deana Ivey, Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp, president & CEO. “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. We are grateful to the NFL for the confidence they have placed in our community. Nashville has earned a reputation for hosting major events at the highest level, and we are ready to welcome the world.”
In 2019, the city of Nashville hosted the 2019 NFL Draft, which drew an estimated 600,000 fans.
“We are thrilled that the new Nissan Stadium will host Nashville’s first Super Bowl in 2030,” said Tennessee Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk. “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. Thank you to Commissioner Goodell, my fellow owners, and the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. for their partnership throughout this process. We look forward to bringing an unforgettable Super Bowl experience to Nashville together.”
The 2026 NFL season will conclude with Super Bowl LXI, which is slated for Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. The following year, Super Bowl LXII will be played at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, USA opened in 1999, holds 69,000, and will be replaced next year, mainly so Nashville can host a Super Bowl.
Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan opened in 1998, holds just over 70,000, has already hosted a World Cup Final, and has no plans to be replaced anytime soon.
The Tale of the Two Nissan Stadiums is the Tale of Two Cultures.
Er, it's more the tale of 2 completely different circumstances.
It's not like Japan hasn't built any big new stadiums since the 2002 WC (their new national stadium opened in 2019) but circumstances are completely different.
1. Japan has stagnated economically since their (massive) bubble bursted in 1990. Japan has also aged and is now losing population (I believe even Yokohama). Compare with Nashville/TN, which has grown in both population and economic might since 2000.
2. In Nashville, evidently it would cost almost as much in upkeep and upgrades to keep Nissan Stadium "first class" as building a new stadium. It could be that Yokohama doesn't see a need to make their Nissan Stadium as "first class". But that also points to the NFL getting far more viewers and generating far more revenue than either Japanese major leagues: the J-League (soccer) and NPB (baseball).
3. Granted, the (North) American franchise model (and honestly a lot of stupid fans/voters/politicians) gives franchises a lot of leverage (far more than in most of the world). I suppose that is the only "cultural" difference (though note that the NBP also operates on a franchise model, but because they operate in a completely different manner from the major (North) American pro leagues, they generally don't try to blackmail Japanese cities for new stadiums).
Kanagawa has more people than the entire state of Tennessee despite only having 2% of the land area. The fact that Nashville is growing and Japan is not has nothing to do with it.
The point is that Japan's stadium spending is more fiscally conservative than that of the US. They see no need to replace stadiums every 25-30 years. Their stadiums are built to last, and while many of their stadiums are publicly financed, they're not building new ones left and right just so the owners can make more money.
Sure, maybe they build stadiums to last, but economic and population growth (and thus how much money people can and are willing to spend) has _everything_ to do with it. You sound like a kid who's never had to worry about a household budget before.
Also, despite their population, the Marinos don't come close to filling the Nissan stadium in Yokohama (and of course that comes down to economics as well as popularity) so of course they aren't replacing their stadium there.
"You sound like a kid who’s never had to worry about a household budget before."
Ironically, the US with their "high GDP" as you claim sound like the ones who've never had to balance a household budget with their needless spending.
You can't measure a country's pedigree by the amount of shiny objects, but rather by the functionality of said objects.
Japan prioritizes function over fashion, and while they do have a larger debt than the US, theirs is more sustainable due to economic reasons that are too complicated for me to describe here.
For example, the Tokyo Dome was modeled after the Metrodome, one of the ugliest stadiums in MLB history, and was torn down after 30 years. Meanwhile, the Tokyo Dome is still standing after nearly 40 years, has no plans of being replaced, and is arguably the most well-known stadium for international matches (WBC, Premier 12). If the Tokyo Dome was in the US, it would have been replaced by now.
LOL, Evan, I've made, saved, and invested enough to be independently wealthy/financially independent and retired early (before age 50) so try again.
If you think the Japanese way is so superior, you should simply try to work as a salaryman in Japan.

Kevin: I think the "Date" should be 2030, not 2029 on this schedule...
Super Bowl LXIV (2029 NFL Season)
– Date: Expected mid-February 2029 (exact date TBD)
No that’s right, 2030 would be Super Bowl 64 or LXIV, because this year , 2026 was the 60th . Also I see some people call it the 2029 season, to me I call it the year the team won, like this upcoming season will be the 2026-27 season, not just 2026, because the champion won’t be crowned until after the new year,like right now both the NBA and NHL are in their playoff, and even though both of those sports started in 2025, no one calls it the 2025 season, it is called the 2025-26 season, or just the 2026 season, so why should football be any different? They start in one year and finish the next.
Excellent to see Music City will be hosting NFL granddaddy of them all.
Now onto if/when Nashville will also earn a CFP championship game, Final Four, etc.
I hope a bunch of the new domed NFL stadia being built get those. (Almost) always playing the CFB title game in the Sun Belt is getting old.
Nashville is a great Super Bowl site. I see Miami cannot be considered for a Super Bowl in the near future due to the logistics around Hard Rock Stadium. I am fearful that New Orleans might be done hosting the game due to the age of the Superdome. Hate to see the two most iconic Big Game sites potentially being kicked to the curb for the foreseeable future. Looks like it will be four-year rotations with two fixed sites (LA and Vegas) with other cities rotating for the other two years. It is amazing the Super Bowl has not been back to JerryWorld since 2011.
It is very cold here in Texas in January/February, and there's not much around the stadium apart from the ne Texas Live development. The Super Bowl has not been back to other cold weather cities like Minneapolis, Indianapolis, or Detroit, despite having domes. I doubt that Cleveland will get more than 1 Super Bowl once their new dome opens. Denver and Nashville might get more than 1 because those are actually attractive cities.
A few more new domed stadiums are coming so LA and LV probably won't host SBs with that frequency but in any case, why are you so concerned about a couple cities that have already gotten far more than their fair share of Super Bowls not hogging more Super Bowls in the future?
Richard--Why do you always care about my opinions? I happen to like those cities. You disagree. Fine.
Gerry, do you even visit them for Super Bowls?
I just find it weird for someone to care about stuff that has nothing to do with their life.
I suppose, this being the Internet, there are plenty of people who have nothing going on in their life so care about stupid stuff that doesn't actually affect them.
Tennessee has more than double Kanagawa's GDP, despite having fewer people. Also more than double TN's GDP in 2000 (Kanagawa's has barely increased) and if you believe that has nothing to do with new stadium building, you're just not very connected to the real world.
GDP is an overrated statistic, and doesn't remotely tell you the whole story. If you dropped a Martian in Japan and Tennessee, it would be pretty obvious to them which place is further ahead.
Evan: Only if the Martian doesn't have to work for a living. I agree that Japan is a terrific place for an American who is financially independent and can retire early (especially with a weak Yen). But note where that American made his money.
You must think Japan is Mexico or some other Central/South American country. That couldn't be further from the truth. This has gotten really off topic, but you've made yourself really look like a fool here. There might be better wage earning opportunities here in the US compared to Japan, but they are miles ahead of us on almost everything, from technology to roads to transportation. The other major East Asian Nations (South Korea, China, and Taiwan) aren't far behind either. I think most people would choose to have a little bit less money to live in a place like that.
Evan, what's your experience with Japan and Taiwan? My wife is Japanese and we go there every summer and I'm from Taiwan so I'm plenty aware of what Japan and Taiwan are like. As I mentioned, yes, the living environment is great in Japan . . . if you have already made money in the US. But economic opportunities kind of matter if you actually have to work for a living to support a family! (Which is why I am wondering if you've ever worked for a living your entire life.)
Yes, the trains (and food!) are phenomenal, the social cohesion and safety/lack of crime is wonderful (compared to the US; that's why we're seriously considering retiring there), but see if you can get the type of car and house and still be able to save up enough to retire early in Japan earning a small fraction of what you would be able to in the US (and yes, in many industries, it literally is a small fraction and is closer to what you'd earn in Mexico than in the US). Also, what technology are you talking about? And yes, the governments there take care of their roads better than many local governments in the US do, though I do notice that a lot of their roads (even in built up areas) don't really have curbs so you have to be careful or you drive in to a ditch and are stuck there (that's fairly rare in the US unless you're in rural areas).
