EverBank Stadium is undergoing a substantial renovation described as the “Stadium of the Future.” This project was approved by NFL owners and began in 2025, with a plan for a dramatic canopy, a 360-degree concourse, energy-efficient upgrades, and seating changes; completion is targeted for 2028, with the 2027 season shifting to Camping World Stadium in Orlando for part of the schedule.[3]

In the near term, construction activity has included major upgrades and seating renovations as part of the broader project, with reports in early 2026 noting ongoing work and anticipated impacts on the Jaguars’ home schedule and facilities ahead of the 2026 NFL season.[1]

Historical context: EverBank Field (the stadium’s former name) has previously undergone large-scale facelifts, including significant scoreboard and fan-area upgrades in 2014 as part of a multi-year improvement plan; the newer renovation is a much larger, multi-year effort extending into 2028.[2]

If you’re trying to attend a game this season, be aware that the stadium’s configuration and surrounding amenities may be different due to ongoing work, and there has been discussion about temporary venue changes for specific games in future seasons as part of the broader renovation plan.[3]
Would you like a concise summary of the renovation timeline and key features, or a quick pull of the most recent public statements from the Jaguars or city officials? I can also monitor for updates and share sources as they become available.
