A history in Indy
In January, Visit Indy announced the city and the NFL had reached an agreement to keep the NFL Combine in Indy at least through 2025, which will be the city's 37th year as host. Indianapolis first hosted the combine in 1987.
"Indianapolis has a storied history with the NFL Combine, so we are thrilled to continue partnering with Visit Indy, the Indianapolis Colts, and our local partners for the event in 2025," said Peter O'Reilly, executive vice president of club business, league events and international at the NFL. "The city has continued to innovate and help us evolve both the setup for the football evaluation process, as well as growing the in-person experience for football fans in the region and across the country."
The combine has grown immensely since coming to Indianapolis more than three decades ago and reportedly generates $9.1 million in economic impact to the city every year.
