The Commanders are hosting the 2027 NFL draft in Washington, AP source says
- The 2027 NFL draft will take place in Washington, D.C., with the Washington Commanders playing a key role in bringing the event to the National Mall, as announced for two years from now.
- This announcement comes after the Commanders' new owner, Josh Harris, reached a deal with Washington, D.C. Officials to construct a new stadium at the former RFK location, a plan that still awaits approval from the city council.
- The Commanders, who have played in Maryland for 27 years, previously tried but failed to host the draft under former owner Dan Snyder before Harris's 2023 purchase of the team.
- The NFL draft, an annual event where teams select eligible college players, attracted 600,000 fans over three days at last month's Green Bay draft, showing strong public interest.
- Hosting the 2027 draft represents a significant achievement for the Commanders' new ownership and a key step in their return to Washington, though the stadium project faces political challenges ahead.
