Bolts From The Blue
The league announced on Thursday that the NFL Combine will stay in Indianapolis through 2026.
On Thursday morning, the NFL announced that the NFL Combine will be staying in Indianapolis through 2026 as the league and city continue a partnership that seems destined to last forever.
Each and every offseason, the idea of the combine being held elsewhere continues to be floated around as if the structure and setup in Indy isn’t the best and has been for the past four decades since it began in 1987.
The NFL began accepting bids in 2021 from other potential host cities but the city’s ability to continue proving that it’s the best candidate to host has allowed it to combat any and all newcomers.
In recent years, the city of Indianapolis and the Colts have worked on creating a bigger and better experience for fans who wish to attend the weeklong showcase. This has included making the event free and providing fun and competitive events for fans, including being able to participate in some of the combine’s events, such as the forty-yard dash and the vertical jump.
Next year’s combine is currently scheduled for February 27th to March 2nd.
