The 2026 NFL Combine is fast approaching, with the football world set to descend on Indianapolis once again for the annual event. The first major event of the 2026 season begins on Tuesday as several coaches and general managers hold press conferences with the media, followed by player interviews and eventually workouts later on through the week and into the weekend.
The players’ on-field work begins on Thursday with defensive linemen and linebackers, and workouts will carry through to Sunday. During
those four days, football fans will get their first look at many of the prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft as the 319 invited players participate in the gauntlet that is the Scouting Combine.
