2026 NFL Draft Location Announced: Pittsburgh to Host
The NFL announced on Wednesday that the 2026 NFL Draft will be held in Pittsburgh, marking the tenth different host city since the league began changing draft locations in recent years. This news comes less than a month after the conclusion of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit.
The 2025 NFL Draft is already set to take place in Green Bay, making it the second consecutive year that an NFC North city will host the event. In 2021, Cleveland had the honor of hosting the draft, despite pandemic restrictions.
With Pittsburgh now confirmed as the host for 2026, fans can start planning for an exciting weekend just a two-hour drive away from Northeast Ohio. This will be a great opportunity for Browns’ fans to support their team’s selections and enjoy the draft experience in a new city.
Since the NFL moved away from holding the draft exclusively in New York City in 2014, cities with AFC North and NFC North teams have become popular choices. With Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, and now Pittsburgh checked off the list, fans are eagerly awaiting news on which city will be next to host the draft.
As the NFL continues to rotate draft locations, the excitement and anticipation for each new host city only grows. Stay tuned for more updates on the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh and the future of this annual event.
