Trump announces the 2027 NFL draft will be in Washington

President Donald Trump announced Monday that the 2027 NFL draft would be held in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall.

"The draft is a celebration of one of our country's most cherished cultural institutions, and the annual highlights for football fans everywhere," Trump said. "Everyone in the world is going to be watching."

Trump made the announcement from the Oval Office, flanked by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris, among other officials. The three spoke briefly, and Bowser touted the draft's ability to bring business to the city.

"We believe in investing in sports because they have helped us transform neighborhoods, and the NFL bringing this event to the nation's capital will help us fill hotel rooms, our restaurants, and Americans from all 50 states will come to their nation's capital and enjoy our beautiful city and museums," Bowser said.
