The NFL Draft is heading to Minneapolis.
The league announced Tuesday at its Spring League Meeting in Orlando that the 2028 NFL Draft will be held in downtown Minneapolis, anchored around U.S. Bank Stadium in partnership with the Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Sports and Events.
The three-day event will bring the full Draft experience to the Twin Cities — community events, the NFL Draft Entertainment Series, and the NFL Draft Experience fan festival, which includes interactive exhibits, autograph sessions, a Play 60 Zone, and the chance to get a photo with the Vince Lombardi Trophy. All of it centered around one of the better venues in professional sports.

The NFL Draft has grown into one of the biggest events on the sports calendar since the league took it on the road in 2015. This year’s Draft in Pittsburgh set an all-time attendance record with 805,000 fans over three days, a number that will be the benchmark Minneapolis is chasing when it gets its turn in two years.
Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf called it an opportunity to put the entire Minneapolis-St. Paul region on display.
“For three days, Minnesota will become the center of the football world,” said Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf. “The 2028 NFL Draft will give us an opportunity to showcase not just U.S. Bank Stadium, but the energy, hospitality, and pride that define Minneapolis-St. Paul and the entire state and region. We have no doubt the community will deliver a world-class event that is unique to Minnesota.”
Commissioner Roger Goodell echoed the sentiment, noting the state has a habit of showing up when the moment calls for it.
“Minnesota knows how to show up for big moments, and we’ve experienced it firsthand,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “Working with the Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Sports and Events, we look forward to bringing the 2028 NFL Draft to this great community, driving positive economic impact throughout the region, and hosting an incredible event for fans and the next generation of the NFL.”
Worth noting: Washington, D.C. gets the 2027 NFL Draft first, so Minnesota has a full cycle to watch, learn, and build toward what figures to be a massive weekend for the region in 2028.
