2026 NFL Scouting Combine schedule: Key dates, on-field workouts and how to use PFF draft tools to keep track of it all

The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine runs from February 22 through March 2 in Indianapolis and serves as the league’s centralized evaluation week for draft-eligible prospects.

Medical evaluations, team interviews and on-field training will unfold in waves by position group, starting with specialists and seven forward defenders and ending with the offensive line. For fans, analysts and teams, this is the first standardized checkpoint in the draft cycle – a chance to stack verified measurements, athletic testing and movement skills alongside the film and production data already on file.

At PFF, that’s where the real work begins.
