When is the 2025 NFL Combine? Schedule, time and how to watch

Posted by author February 27, 2025 Football

Super Bowl 59 may have been less than three weeks ago, but the preparations for the next NFL season are already underway with the next step being the NFL Scouting Combine.

This week, more than 300 professional prospects will head to Indianapolis to put their skills to the test in front of every team in the NFL, from coaches to front office executives. The event, which is known for the on-field workouts like the 40-yard dash, also allows athletes to go through medical evaluations and meet with teams that can potentially select them in this year’s draft. Some players can really impress scouts over the weekend and boost their draft stock, and franchises can get an idea of who they will be targeting in the 2025 NFL draft in April.

Teams won’t be the only ones able to watch the next crop of NFL players get ready for a professional career, as the entire event is available to watch. Here’s what to know for this year’s combine:
