Mark your calendars. The official dates for when the 2026 NFL Draft comes to Pittsburgh has officially been announced. After previously being named the host for next year’s draft, the city of Pittsburgh announced next year’s draft will be held on April 23-25, 2026.
VisitPittsburgh shared the news and added a countdown to their website while creating a fan guide from the hundreds of thousands of out-of-town fans expected to attend during the three day event.
It’s the first time in the modern era the city of Pittsburgh is hosting the NFL Draft. It’s only ever happened once before in 1948, a far different era where the draft wasn’t nearly the marquee event it is today.
