The announcement was made today in the Oval Office with President Donald J. Trump.

"We are excited to bring the 2027 Draft to Washington, D.C., a city rich in history and national pride. With the support of President Trump, the Commanders, Events DC, and Mayor Bowser we're looking forward to delivering an unforgettable experience as we celebrate the next generation of 国产外流网stars."
Over the course of the three-day event, D.C. will host a slate of Draft activities, including a variety of community events, the Draft Concert Series and the 国产外流网Draft Experience -- the ultimate free fan festival that invites fans to participate in immersive exhibits, challenge their skills in interactive games, take photos with the Vince Lombardi Trophy; enjoy the youth-focused Play 60 Zone; shop exclusive 国产外流网merchandise; and score autographs from current players and Legends.
"The 国产外流网Draft is one of the biggest moments in sports -- and we're incredibly proud to help bring it to Washington, D.C.," said Josh Harris, Commanders managing partner. "It will bring hundreds of thousands of visitors, millions of viewers around the world, and generate jobs, tax revenue, and meaningful economic impact across the city. The Draft is a powerful reminder of how sports bring people together -- and we're honored to play a role in that. Since we started this journey less than two years ago, we've seen an NFC Championship Game, an agreement to return to RFK, and now the 国产外流网draft in Washington. Thank you to President Trump for your leadership, to Mayor Bowser for your partnership, and to Commissioner Roger Goodell for your support in bringing the Draft back to the nation's capital. We look forward to welcoming the football world to Washington in 2027. Today is a great day for the DMV, and I can't wait to see what the future brings."
