The Commanders are turning to the commander-in-chief to make a major announcement on Monday. 

President Donald Trump will announce on Monday that the NFL draft is headed to Washington, D.C., in 2027, Axios reported.

The announcement is set to take place at the White House with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Commanders owner Josh Harris present, with plans for the three-day event to occur at the National Mall. 

Recently, Trump engaged with NFL personnel, as the Eagles visited the White House last week, and he also spent a day golfing with Saquon Barkley.

The draft represents another milestone for the Commanders, who have experienced a significant transformation as an organization since Harris assumed the role of majority owner, following years of dysfunction under Dan Snyder.

The draft has become a massive boon for cities since the NFL started taking the annual league event on the road beginning in 2015. 

Detroit saw 750,000 people attend the three-day event in 2024, which set an attendance record, and last month in Green Bay, over 600,000 football fans made the trip to Wisconsin. 

Hosting the draft is the second piece of good news that Commanders fans have gotten over the past few days after it had been announced last week that the team and officials in Washington D.C. had come to an agreement on a new stadium at the RFK Stadium site.

The deal brings the Commanders back to the place they once called home for the first time since 1996. 

The franchise has played at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md. since 1997. 

Trump even weighed in on the Commanders’ stadium deal when it was announced. 

He praised it as a “HUGE WIN for Washington, D.C.”
