One week after agreeing to a deal to lure the Washington Commanders back into the city, the District of Columbia received more good news -- it will host the 2027 NFL draft, a source familiar with the situation confirmed to ESPN on Sunday night.
An official announcement is expected at the White House on Monday. The draft is expected to be held on the National Mall, where the Washington Monument stands. Axios first reported the news.
The draft, which will be held in Pittsburgh next year, has become a huge draw. Green Bay attracted more than 600,000 fans for the three-day event last month. Detroit established a record attendance with 750,000 in 2024.
The draft began rotating cities in 2015.
Washington hosting the draft for the first time continues the momentum for the city and franchise.
