With arguably an even better class than 2025, the anticipation for the 2026 NFL Draft is already building. As the draft baton officially passes from Green Bay to Pittsburgh, all eyes turn toward the Steel City.

After the draft concluded in Green Bay on Sunday, Mark Murphy, the Packers' president and CEO, was joined by other Packers and Steelers representatives as the Packers handed the ball off to the Steelers, effectively starting the timer until Pittsburgh plays host to the NFL Draft in 2026.

These sights – and more – are signatures of the NFL Draft, which Pittsburgh is in the early stages of planning for April 23-25 next year. Draft activities are expected to take over Point State Park and the North Shore, connected by the Allegheny River and incorporating iconic Pittsburgh sights like Acrisure Stadium.
