Nashville Poised for Historic 2030 Super Bowl Hosting with New Stadium Opening
May 18, 2026
The owners will vote on the hosting decision during the NFL spring meeting in Orlando, with the vote taking place over two days.
Nashville is favored to host Super Bowl LXIV in 2030, marking the NFL’s first in Music City and aligning with the opening of the new $2.1 billion Nissan Stadium next year.
The league’s preference appears to be destination-style Super Bowls that leverage tourism, entertainment, nightlife, and weeklong fan experiences.
There is ongoing speculation about Swift headlining if Nashville hosts, with notes on her genre-spanning appeal.
Beyond the Super Bowl, the spring meeting covers other league topics, including a lease for a new Commanders stadium site and Bears stadium considerations.
Jelly Roll is highlighted as a rising mainstream artist with cross-media appeal who could headline or co-headline the game’s entertainment.
Luke Combs is noted as a top stadium-drawing country act with strong marquee potential for the event.
A multi-artist or medley-style lineup is discussed as an option to broaden appeal, echoing past Super Bowl formats.
Construction progress on the new venue is ongoing, with assessments of the old stadium’s obsolescence and uncertainty about exact opening acts.
The final concert at the old stadium is slated for mid-August, with Jelly Roll’s potential as the first performer at the new stadium still undecided.
During the same meeting, there is a vote to increase league-run international games in 2027, potentially up to 11 if the Jaguars’ London game is counted as a home game.
Taylor Swift is highlighted as a possible headliner due to Nashville ties and global stardom, though no official discussions have been confirmed.
