The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the 2026 NFL Draft.
PITTSBURGH -- The 2026 NFL Draft is coming to Pittsburgh, with the Pittsburgh Steelers being awarded the rights to host the event, the team announced.
The Steelers and Denver Broncos were the running favorites to host the event at the NFL Spring Meetings. With a strong push coming from Pittsburgh, the league decided to send the event to the Steel City. The Steelers sent in a bid earlier this year for either the 2026 or 2027 NFL Draft, with a strong belief they would land one of the two. It's expected that the draft will be held on the North Shore, surrounded by PNC Park and Acrisure Stadium, with fans being able to crowd the bridges, much like many other events throughout the years.According to WPXI, the NFL Draft coming to Pittsburgh could hold an economic impact between $100 and $150 million.
