The NFL Draft Is Coming To Cleveland In 2021

CLEVELAND — The NFL Draft will be held in Cleveland in 2021.

The decision to hold the draft in Cleveland was announced on Wednesday during the NFL’s annual Spring League Meeting in Key Biscayne, Fla. Cleveland was close to hosting previous drafts but had found itself the runner-up in competition. This time was different.

A coalition of groups, including politicians and prominent business persons, lobbied the NFL to bring the draft festivities to Cleveland.

“Ohio is the birthplace of professional football and the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I applaud the NFL’s decision to hold the NFL Draft in Cleveland and give the Cleveland Browns and all of Ohio the opportunity to spotlight Ohio’s professional football history and passionate fans,” Governor Mike DeWine said in a statement on Wednesday.

During the NFL Draft, festivities will be held throughout downtown, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, at FirstEnergy Stadium, and throughout Northeast Ohio.

Cleveland will now host a major event for each of the major professional sports in the U.S. The MLB All-Star Game will be held at Progressive Field in July, the NBA All-Star Game will be held in Cleveland in 2022 and the NFL Draft will be in Cleveland in 2021.

“We are incredibly honored to be able to showcase the City of Cleveland and the passion of Browns fans through the unique international platform the NFL Draft provides,” said Dee and Jimmy Haslam, owners of the Cleveland Browns. “This is an exceptional opportunity for Northeast Ohio that even extends beyond football, and we look forward to continuing the work ahead with Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, the City of Cleveland, Destination Cleveland and the NFL to ensure that the 2021 NFL Draft is truly memorable for Northeast Ohio and football fans across the world.”
