NFL owners still must approve any temporary relocation for the Jaguars. That will likely occur when the league holds its virtual owners meetings Dec. 9-10.
“So, we just got the word that the Jaguars have decided to move forward with coming to Orlando,” Rose said. “So next is [for NFL owners] to vote, and we’re hoping that we get the Jaguars here in 2027.”
News4Jax reached out to the Jaguars for comment but had not heard back.

Orlando among other possibilities
The Jaguars began exploring alternate sites after the city approved the Stadium of the Future last June.
The Jaguars were considering Camping World Stadium and the University of Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, as well as a proposal from Daytona International Speedway.
UF’s stadium was a long shot because it is set to undergo $400 million in renovations that will begin in April 2027. Camping World is getting $400 million in renovations, and those are set to begin later this year.
Construction on the Stadium of the Future in Jacksonville began after the 2024 season finished. The team will play in a reduced-capacity stadium next year before moving away for 2027.
The stadium overhaul is expected to be done before kickoff in 2028.
“I’ve been advocating for the Jaguars to come here. It’s a good opportunity,” Rose said. “So, when I say, what separates us from Gainesville, because that was our competitor, is that we’re family friendly. And so, like the players, can just come with their family, they can enjoy. …
“There’s more to Orlando than just coming to the game, and it gives the visitors an opportunity to really come and enjoy and see Orlando, and everything we have to offer.”
