Denver, CO, August 20, 2026 —
The Mayor of Denver has publicly stated a desire to bring the National Football League (NFL) Draft to the Mile High City. The specifics of any potential bid or the timeline for such an endeavor were not immediately detailed.
Hosting the NFL Draft would represent a significant event for Denver, potentially drawing thousands of visitors and generating considerable economic activity. Cities that have previously hosted the draft have often seen a substantial boost in tourism and local business revenue.
The NFL has held its annual draft in various cities across the United States, with recent events taking place in locations such as Kansas City, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Chicago. Each host city typically works with the NFL to select a venue, often a stadium or a convention center, and to organize a multi-day event that includes fan festivals and other related activities.
Further details regarding Denver’s interest, including potential partners, proposed venues, or financial commitments, have not yet been released. It remains unclear at this stage if the city will formally pursue a bid to host the event in the future.
