The Pittsburgh Steelers, along with various organizations and city officials, have been going through the steps to host a future NFL Draft. The bid was officially submitted in February to host either the 2026 or 2027 NFL Draft, and Art Rooney II recently said that they should know about 2026 sometime this upcoming week.

The NFL Draft is becoming a bigger and bigger draw in recent years, and part of that is the NFL’s decision to start moving the event from city to city rather than anchoring it in New York as they had for 50 years starting in 1964.
