Kansas City to host 2023 NFL Draft from April 27-29

Kansas City will host the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chiefs announced Thursday.

The event will take place April 27-29, 2023.

"This will be one of the biggest and most anticipated professional sporting events our city has hosted," Kansas City Sports Commission CEO Kathy Nelson said in a statement. "Not only will fans from around the country be traveling to experience the NFL draft and NFL Draft Experience, but millions of viewers will see Kansas City in the national spotlight on NFL Network, ESPN, and other major networks."

The NFL draft, which Kansas City has never hosted, took place in Cleveland in 2021 and will be staged in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium this year.
