Nashville has been named one of the top seven sport destinations cities in the world and the only American city by Sports Pro.

Music City has been the focus of many large sporting events over the past five years and continues to compete with other cities to host events, including a recent bid to host a 2026 FIFA World Cup game.

The Sports Business Journal named Nashville as America’s best sports city back in 2019. The city has hosted March Madness games, the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament and more recently the 2019 NFL Draft which was the highest attended and most watched NFL Draft in history. Music City also continues to be a hot destination for the UFC, CONCACAF soccer games like international friendlies or the Gold Cup.

Nashville continues to grow as they just added a MLS team who will be playing in a brand new stadium starting in 2022 at the Nashville fairgrounds. Also, this year Nashville is hosting a NASCAR weekend with three races in June and the first ever Big Machine Music City Grand Prix IndyCar race in August.

The six other destinations included on the list are, Santiago, Chile; Glasgow, Scotland; Senegal; Budapest, Hungary; Saudi Arabia; and Indonesia.
