Bills submit official request to host future NFL draft

The Buffalo Bills have officially submitted a request to the NFL to host the 2028 or 2029 NFL Draft, potentially bringing the major event to Western New York. The NFL Draft has grown significantly as a spectacle since moving from New York City in 2015, with the most recent event in Detroit attracting over 775,000 attendees and generating over $213 million in economic impact. Hosting the draft would provide a substantial economic boost to the region, benefiting local hotels, restaurants, and businesses. If chosen, the Bills could showcase their new stadium, set to be completed in 2026, to a wide audience. The selection process will unfold over the next few years, with the league expected to reveal the draft location about two years before the event. The Bills are now awaiting confirmation from the NFL to proceed with a detailed proposal.
