U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to officially announce on Monday that Washington, D.C., will host the 2027 NFL Draft, according to a report from Axios. The announcement will reportedly be made alongside NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris during a scheduled event at the White House.
Citing two sources familiar with the matter, Axios said the announcement will take place at 1:00 p.m. EST (1700 GMT), as part of a sports-related update included in Trump’s official schedule for the day. The move marks a major milestone for the nation's capital, which has never hosted the NFL Draft, and would be seen as a significant boost to local tourism and sports culture.
Hosting the draft in Washington D.C. aligns with the NFL’s recent efforts to rotate the event among major U.S. cities. The league has turned the draft into a multi-day fan experience, drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees and boosting local economies. Past host cities like Kansas City, Nashville, and Las Vegas have seen strong turnouts and national media attention.
The inclusion of Josh Harris, who recently acquired the Commanders franchise, further emphasizes the NFL’s investment in revitalizing the Washington football market. The announcement could also signal closer collaboration between the Trump administration and major U.S. sports leagues during a politically charged election year.
While details remain limited, the formal confirmation is expected to generate widespread media coverage and spark planning efforts for the 2027 NFL Draft, anticipated to draw major crowds and nationwide viewership.
Trump’s announcement will mark another high-profile moment where sports and politics intersect, with Washington D.C. poised to take center stage on the NFL calendar.
