Nashville is set to be awarded a future Super Bowl, while Minnesota is the likely host for the 2028 NFL Draft, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The news was reported Monday morning from the NFL League Meeting currently taking place in Orlando.
The move to bring the Super Bowl to Nashville follows the city's commitment to a new enclosed stadium for the Tennessee Titans. The league has a long-standing tradition of awarding the championship game to markets that construct new, high-end facilities. While the specific year for the Nashville Super Bowl has not yet been finalized, the city is now firmly on the calendar for the league's biggest event.
In addition to the Super Bowl news, the NFL is expected to name Minnesota as the host for the 2028 NFL Draft. This continues the league's trend of rotating the draft through different NFL cities, a practice that has seen massive fan turnout in recent years. The Minnesota Vikings and the city of Minneapolis are now positioned to welcome the three-day event in four years.
