Confirmed: NFL owners award Super Bowl 2030 to Nashville and its new stadium for SB LXIV
The NFL owners are meeting this week to decide on a location that’s never been used before for a Super Bowl.
The NFL has decided on the venue for Super Bowl 2030 and as expected, Nashville got the prize.
This is the first time Nashville will have hosted a Super Bowl, a milestone moment for one of the league’s fastest-growing markets.

A new stadium at the center of the bid
At the heart of Nashville’s push is the future home of the Tennessee Titans. The team’s new stadium, currently under construction and expected to open in 2027, is designed with major events in mind. Modern NFL venues have become central to Super Bowl planning, offering upgraded amenities, expanded seating options and the infrastructure needed to host a global spectacle.
That formula has played out repeatedly in recent years, with cities often landing Super Bowls shortly after unveiling new or renovated stadiums.For Nashville, the timing lines up perfectly.
The NFL’s selection process goes beyond just the stadium itself though. Host cities must demonstrate the ability to handle massive crowds, media presence and week-long festivities. Nashville’s rise as a major entertainment destination, combined with its tourism infrastructure, has strengthened its case in recent years.
From its downtown layout to its nationally recognized music and nightlife scene, the city offers the kind of built-in experience the league looks for when awarding its biggest event.
How upcoming Super Bowls are shaping the timeline
The league has already mapped out its Super Bowl locations over the next several years.
- Super Bowl LXI (2027) is set to be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA.
- Super Bowl LXII (2028) will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA.
- Super Bowl LXIII (2029) is widely expected to land in Las Vegas, NV.
That leaves 2031 as the next open slot now that Nashville has been confirmed for 2030.
