A report from Dan Patrick points to Nashville hosting the 2030 Super Bowl, a long-anticipated payoff for the Titans’ new stadium project.
When it was first announced that the Tennessee Titans would be building a new stadium in downtown Nashville, the dream scenario for the team, the city, and Titans fans everywhere was that premier sporting events would soon follow, as Music City continued to emerge as one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States.
Super Bowls, Final Fours—you name it. Nashville is already one of the most popular tourism destinations for traveling sports fans. So why not have a state-of-the-art stadium capable of hosting the biggest events in American sports?
We're now less than 18 months away from the stadium opening at the start of the 2027 NFL season. And while we inch closer to the 2026 NFL Draft—with plenty of anticipation surrounding what the Titans will do with the 4th overall pick—we finally got the confirmation we’ve been waiting for.
Longtime sportscaster and radio personality Dan Patrick was first to break the news, reporting on The Dan Patrick Show Monday morning that Tennessee will officially host the Super Bowl in 2030.
“The 2030 Super Bowl—I was informed by a source on Saturday that it is signed and ready to go, in his opinion, that Nashville is getting the 2030 Super Bowl,” Patrick said on his show.
That would put the Titans as the Super Bowl host in February of 2030, following the 2029 NFL season—just four seasons from now.
According to Patrick, the 2027 Super Bowl will be held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The 2028 game is slated for Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, followed by Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in 2029. Then, Nashville gets its turn in 2030.
“Nashville is getting the 2030 Super Bowl. Vegas is getting the 2029 Super Bowl. 2027, Los Angeles, and then it’s Atlanta in 2028. But this is what I was told over the weekend—Nashville will get the 2030 Super Bowl. They’ve got a new stadium coming in. That always helps.”
By then, who’s to say the Titans can’t be contenders to play in the game themselves? That would fall in the fifth year of Cam Ward’s rookie contract, and whoever the team selects in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft will also still be under contract by the time that Super Bowl rolls around.
When I spoke with Titans officials at the initial stadium announcement, they made it clear the venue would be eligible for exactly this type of event—even with nearly 10,000 fewer seats than the current stadium. The Titans received assurances from the NFL, and now it appears those conversations have turned into an official agreement.
