During this announcement, which will also feature NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris, Trump is expected to unveil details about the draft’s new location. Initial reports came after some teasing from the White House.
Since 2015, the NFL has rotated host cities annually, with Radio City Music Hall in New York City being a historic venue. The last draft was held in Green Bay, and the upcoming 2026 event will be in Pittsburgh.
The recent news aligns with plans from the D.C. government to construct a new stadium, which would serve as an alternative to RFK Stadium.
