NFL Unveils Spectacular Lineup for 2025 Draft in Green Bay

NEW YORK — The NFL unveiled an array of activities today for the 2025 NFL Draft, set to take place from April 24 to 26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This marks the first time that Lambeau Field and Titletown will host the event, offering fans a chance to celebrate the next generation of NFL talent while immersing themselves in local culture, food, and entertainment.

The excitement kicks off on Wednesday, April 23, with the NFL’s annual Prospect Clinic, where local youth football players and Special Olympics athletes will connect with NFL Draft prospects. Coaches from USA Football will instruct participants on basic skills and drills. After the clinic, Draft prospects and NFL Network analysts Daniel Jeremiah, Charles Davis, and Joel Klatt will be available for media interviews. Media members can preview various aspects of the Draft at this time.

Draft Day 1 begins on Thursday, April 24, when prospects will walk the NFL Draft Red Carpet presented by Toyota at Lambeau Field starting around 4:00 p.m. CT. Fans will view the festivities from the stadium stands, with portions broadcast live during NFL Network’s NFL Draft Kickoff show, featuring interviews by host Kimmi Chex.

The Draft kickoff will feature performances from a Wisconsin-based youth choir, which will sing the hymn “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” followed by singer-songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr. performing the National Anthem. A dramatic flyover by the Wisconsin Army National Guard with four Black Hawk helicopters will cap off the opening ceremony.

Commissioner Roger Goodell, along with current and former Packers stars, will welcome fans and prospects to the momentous occasion. As each prospect walks down a special Player Walkway crafted by Milwaukee wood artist Ike Wynter, they will be flanked by an art installation made of reclaimed wood, representing all 32 NFL teams.

On Friday, April 25, the festivities continue with fan-centric experiences and exciting appearances. Throughout the night, 32 NFL Legends and members of the 2000 Draft Class will announce picks to mark the 25th anniversary of that class. Celebrated participants include Hall of Famer Lynn Swann, Packers Legend Jordy Nelson, and notable Wisconsin natives Joe Thomas and Jonathan Taylor. The night will conclude with a stunning drone show lighting up the Green Bay sky.

Saturday, April 26, wraps up the Draft with a family-friendly celebration of Wisconsin’s culture. Activities planned include a bike parade for young fans, an NFL Farmer’s Market showcasing local vendors, and heartwarming puppy adoptions by the Wisconsin Humane Society.

Fans will also enjoy musical performances from the University of Wisconsin Marching Band, local polka music, and even a cheese carving demonstration, highlighting Wisconsin’s culinary pride. Surprise celebrity guests will make special appearances throughout the day.

The NFL Draft Concert Series presented by Bud Light will feature a free concert on Saturday after the seventh round of selections.
