WASHINGTON — The 2027 NFL draft is heading to the nation’s capital, a person familiar with the details told The Associated Press on Sunday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because President Donald Trump is set to make the announcement Monday at the White House.

Washington hosting the draft two years from now is the latest off-field victory for the Commanders, a week since they reached an agreement with the D.C. government to build a stadium on the old RFK site. That is pending council approval.

The team under new ownership, Josh Harris’ group that bought the team from Dan Snyder in 2023, has been trying to land the draft for multiple years, losing out to Detroit and Green Bay.

In March, team President Sashi Brown said the Ravens would like to bring the draft to Baltimore.

“We’re very interested in trying to convince the league that Baltimore is going to be the best site for the draft of all time,” Brown said.
