The location for the 2028 NFL Draft has been determined.
NFL owners voted at Tuesday’s spring meeting to award the draft to Minneapolis, which will mark the city’s first time hosting the event and make Minnesota the 12th state to do so (Washington, D.C., hosted in 1941 and will return next year).
“Minnesota knows how to show up for big moments, and we’ve experienced that firsthand,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “In partnership with the Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Sports and Events, we look forward to bringing the 2028 NFL Draft to this great community, making a positive economic impact throughout the region and hosting an incredible event for fans and the next generation of the NFL.”
