NFL scouting combine staying in Indianapolis through 2026

INDIANAPOLIS -- The NFL scouting combine will remain in Indianapolis for at least two more years under an agreement announced Thursday.

Indianapolis tourism officials announced a deal with the NFL to host the league's flagship pre-draft event through 2026, superseding a previous agreement that ended with the 2025 combine.

The combine has been held in Indianapolis since 1987. Since those early days, when the combine played out with little fanfare, it has evolved into a major event on the NFL calendar. The combine now features hours of live television coverage, and in recent years, fans have been permitted to attend on-field drills at Lucas Oil Stadium.
