NFL Announces Dates for 2022 Draft in Las Vegas

The NFL says next year's NFL Draft in Las Vegas is scheduled for April 28-30, 2021. 

The NFL announced the dates on Monday. 

"I'm pleased to announce that Las Vegas will host the 2022 NFL Draft, where we look forward to holding an even bigger and better event than we could have ever imagined this year," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in statement last week. "Congratulations to Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Raiders' organization and Raider Nation."

This year's draft was originally scheduled to be held in Las Vegas ahead of the Las Vegas Raiders' inaugural season. However, the pandemic forced the change to a virtual format.

"We're thrilled the NFL has given us the opportunity to host the Draft in Las Vegas in 2022. While disappointed we were unable to bring this exciting event to life this year," said Steve Hill, CEO and president of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). "We plan to make the 87th annual NFL Draft an ONLY VEGAS experience football fans will never forget."
