The 2020 NFL Draft will be the 85th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft is scheduled to be held from April 23–25, 2020. It will be held in Paradise, Nevada. The Cincinnati Bengals will select the number one overall pick, their first time doing so since the 2003 NFL Draft.
Host city bid process[edit]
The host city for this draft was chosen among finalists Denver, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Nashville, and Cleveland/Canton in May 2018 during the NFL Spring League Meeting,[1] when Nashville was chosen to host the 2019 draft. However, the host city for 2020 was deferred. After Denver withdrew, citing scheduling conflicts,[2] Las Vegas was chosen as the host on December 12, 2018, coinciding with the Las Vegas Raiders' arrival in the city.[3]
The main stage was planned be located near The Caesars Forum convention center, while the NFL also revealed plans to construct a "red carpet" stage for arrivals on a floating platform in front of the Bellagio's fountain—with players being transported to and from the stage by boat.[4]
Due to the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, the NFL announced on March 16 that the draft will be closed to the public, and that the league will explore "innovative options for how the process will be conducted".[5]
