Future NFL Draft locations: 2024, 2025 and beyond

Taking a look at future NFL Draft locations for 2024, 2025 and as far out as we know for the league’s annual event at the end of April. 

For almost 50 years, football fans knew that NFL Draft locations were never going to change. It was held in New York City from 1965-2014, including long runs at the Theater at Madison Square Garde (1995-2004) and Radio City Music Hall (2006-14). In recent years, though, things have changed.

To make the draft more of a spectacle and destination event — to much success thus far, it should be said — the league has been changing NFL Draft locations every year with host cities being home for various franchises.

In 2015-16, it was held in Chicago. Since then, the draft has gone to Philadelphia (2017), Dallas (2018), Nashville (2019), Cleveland (2021), Las Vegas (2022), and Roger Goodell’s lounge room (2020, thanks to COVID). But where is the draft headed in 2023, 2024 and in the rest of the future years? Let’s take a look.

Where is the 2023 NFL Draft?

The 2023 NFL Draft will be held in Kansas City, MO right outside of famous Union Station. This will actually mark the first time that the reigning Super Bowl champions will host the draft under this new format. Given that and the raucous atmosphere that shows up every week at Arrowhead Stadium, the draft being in Kansas City should be quite the event.

Future NFL Draft locations for 2024, 2025 and beyond

The 2024 NFL Draft will be located in Detroit, MI. The event will take place at Campus Martius Park in Hart Plaza and will be held from April 25-27.

On Monday, May 22, the NFL awarded the 2025 NFL Draft to be located in Green Bay, WI, home of the Packers. The release from the team noted that the draft would be held “inside and around” Lambeau Field, which is the obvious choice for where to hold the draft.

Moreover, we don’t have any information yet available about 2026, 2027 or anything beyond the 2024 draft.
