Washington, D.C. will host 2027 NFL Draft as Commanders prepare to return to the city

The NFL Draft is headed to the nation’s capital.

The league announced Monday that Washington, D.C., will host the NFL Draft in 2027, with commissioner Roger Goodell and Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris joining President Donald Trump at the White House.

Specifics of the draft are not yet known, though Axios reported Sunday night the hope is to actually host the draft on the National Mall.

The decision to hold the draft in D.C. comes a week after the Commanders unveiled plans to return to the city and the RFK campus they used to play at for decades.
