Is Nashville getting the Super Bowl?
It’s a question that’s been floating around for a while now, especially with the city’s new enclosed Nissan Stadium set to open in 2027.
While nothing has been officially announced, there’s growing buzz about when — not if — the “Big Game” could land in Music City.
Why Nashville Is in the Conversation
Once the new stadium opens, Nashville instantly becomes a serious contender to host some of the biggest events in sports.

The venue, located on the East Bank near the current Nissan Stadium, is expected to seat between 55,000 and 60,000 fans and will feature a fully enclosed design — a key factor in landing events like the Super Bowl.
It’s also part of a broader push to bring major events to the city, including the NCAA Final Four and other national showcases.
What We Know About a Possible Super Bowl
There was some speculation that Nashville could land the 2029 Super Bowl, but that opportunity is off the table after it was awarded to Las Vegas.
That shifts the timeline — and now, 2030 has become the year to watch.
Sports radio host Dan Patrick recently said he was told by a source that Nashville is expected to host the 2030 Super Bowl, though he noted he hasn’t seen any official reports confirming it.
“Nashville is getting the 2030 Super Bowl,” Patrick said, while acknowledging the information has not been formally announced.
Not Official — But Trending That Way
As of now, the NFL has not confirmed a host city for the 2030 Super Bowl.

That said, league officials have made it clear they’re high on Nashville’s potential. Commissioner Roger Goodell has previously described the city as “Super Bowl-ready,” especially with the new stadium on the way.
The Bottom Line
Nothing is official yet, but all signs point to Nashville being firmly in the mix once the new stadium opens.
If the timeline lines up the way many expect, it may just be a matter of time before Music City gets its turn on the biggest stage in sports.
15 Country Artists Primed to Headline a Super Bowl Halftime Show
Any way you slice it, country music is long overdue for its time in the spotlight at the Super Bowl. Although several artists have sung the National Anthem at the game, the coveted halftime show has been anything but country for over three decades.
The last time anyone from the genre headlined the performance was in 1994, when Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt, Wynonna Judd and Naomi Judd did a medley of their biggest hits. With country music gaining in popularity, there’s no better time than now to put one of our own in the spotlight. Here are 15 artists who are already primed to take on the task.
