North Texas to Host 2018 NFL Draft

(WBAP/KLIF) – The 2018 NFL Draft is coming to North Texas.

The NFL made the announcement Wednesday morning on its Twitter account. The draft will run April 26-28 of next year at AT&T Stadium. But is also expected to be partially held at the Dallas Cowboys practice facility in Frisco. It will be the first time the draft will be held in an NFL stadium.

“Philadelphia raised the bar by taking the Draft to another level, and this new opportunity in Dallas will enable us to continue the event’s evolution and grow it even further,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “We are grateful to the Dallas Cowboys, the cities of Arlington, Dallas, and Frisco, and the Dallas Sports Commission for their leadership in turning this vision into reality.”

The Cowboys submitted a bid to host the draft in May.
