In a press release on Jan. 18, Visit Indy announced the city and the NFL had reached an agreement to keep the combine in Indy for the 37th year. 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.”
Visit Indy, along with the Indiana Convention Center & Lucas Oil Stadium, the City of Indianapolis, IU Health and the Indiana Sports Corp, collectively worked alongside the Colts to keep the NFL Combine in Indy for 2025.
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.
The 2024 NFL Combine is set to take place Feb. 29 through Mar. 3.
“We know cities across the U.S. consistently vie to host all of the NFL’s events,” said Leonard Hoops, president & CEO of Visit Indy. “We appreciate the NFL’s continued confidence and partnership with Indy, and we are looking forward to continued growth in our city.”
