The Jacksonville Jaguars face a unique logistical hurdle this season, with their Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts serving as their only true home game over an eight-week span. While the Jaguars were designated as the home team for their Weeks 5 and 6 contests against the Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans, those fixtures took place in London. Consequently, Sunday’s contest at EverBank Stadium stands as the singular opportunity for Jacksonville to play in front of its domestic crowd before embarking on a punishing schedule.
EverBank Stadium hosts the sole home fixture before a grueling three-game road trip begins.
Following the showdown with Indianapolis, the Jaguars will hit the road for three consecutive weeks, traveling to Baltimore, Tennessee, and New York to face the Giants. This intense stretch of away games means the team will not return to EverBank Stadium until Week 12, when they host the Tennessee Titans on November 29. The disparity in home versus road games highlights the significant travel burden placed on the squad during this critical portion of the 2026 campaign.
The unusual scheduling quirk arises from ongoing renovations at EverBank Stadium, which have reduced seating capacity for the current season. This temporary state serves as a precursor to a major relocation, as the Jaguars are set to move their home operations to Camping World Stadium in Orlando starting in 2027. For now, the franchise must navigate this transitional period, relying on the limited home advantage provided by this single domestic fixture to build momentum.
