Super Bowl LXIV will have a Nashville, Tenn., twang, because the NFL on Tuesday awarded the venue known as Music City its biggest event of all time — a championship game to be played in February 2030.
The announcement was made at the NFL Spring League Meeting in Orlando following a review of the proposal by the NFL’s Fan Engagement and Major Events Committee and a vote of full ownership.
The owners voted 32-0 to approve the Music City Super Bowl.

“The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the biggest fan events in our history,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Super Bowl LXIV in a new stadium is the next step in this incredible football journey. The vision of Amy Adams Strunk and the Tennessee Titans helped make this moment possible, along with our great partners at the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. We can’t wait to put on an unforgettable show in 2030.”
This would be the biggest Nashville sports event since the Music City Miracle in January 2000. And that happened because the Houston Oilers moved to Nashville in 1997.
This place has come a long way since then.
Nashville and the newly renamed Tennessee Titans are in the process of building a new $2.1 billion stadium, scheduled to open in time for the 2027 season. The new Nissan Stadium will serve its third season when it is expected to host Super Bowl LXIV to end the 2029 season (played in February 2030).
During what was called the Steel Topping Out event at the new Nissan Stadium in November, Goodell praised the franchise’s location, even dropping hints that the Super Bowl might be headed to Nashville one day.
Now we know it’s happening.
“Hosting the Super Bowl is a defining moment for Nashville and Tennessee and reflects years of work to build Music City into a world-renowned destination for music, entertainment, and live events,” said President of the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. President and CEO Deana Ivey in a statement.
“This event is an incredible opportunity to showcase the dynamic and creative character of Nashville to a global audience and deliver the Super Bowl experience that is clearly Music City, where music, sports, culture, and hospitality come together in a way few cities can.”
