Here’s what to know about the Super Bowl in Music City.
This would mark the city’s very first time hosting the NFL’s most prestigious game. Over the last two decades, the league has broadened the championship event’s appeal. Since 2010, five cities that had never hosted the Super Bowl have taken their turn welcoming it.
In November 2025, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated that he had “every expectation you’re going to see that type of thing in the future” in Nashville, referring to a Super Bowl. Officials from the city and the Tennessee Titans also demonstrated to the NFL their capability to host major events, as shown by the 2019 NFL Draft.

The largest contributor to Nashville’s potential success in hosting the Super Bowl will be the soon-to-be-completed Nissan Stadium. Construction on the stadium began in 2024 and won’t be completed until February 2027.
In total, the new stadium will cost $2.1 billion once it is complete.
Nashville is not only aiming to host the Super Bowl, but also other significant sports events. The Nashville Sports Council has announced plans to seek the opportunity to host the national championship game for the College Football Playoff and the men’s college basketball Final Four. Additionally, there have been indications that WWE’s WrestleMania will take place at the newly built Nissan Stadium.
