From Feb. 26 – March 1, Combine Experience and “Inside Look” invites fans into Lucas Oil Stadium to witness top prospects take a pivotal step toward the 2026 NFL Draft while enjoying interactive activities for fans of all ages.
“After a college football season that energized fans across the country, the Scouting Combine continues that excitement in Indianapolis,” said Peter O’Reilly, NFL executive vice president of club business, international and league events. “By welcoming fans inside the stadium, we’re giving them the chance to get an up-close look at the league’s future stars as they prepare for the NFL.”

Returning for another year, “Inside Look” brings fans inside Lucas Oil Stadium for an immersive viewing experience during Combine. “Inside Look” offers fans an up-close view of drills with live analysis from on-camera hosts, prospect storytelling, exclusive interviews and enhanced video board features that explain drills and highlight player journeys. The event also features music, fan polls and appearances by NFL Legends to bring behind-the-scenes energy to the on-field action.

Taking place outside the stadium and throughout interior concourses, Combine Experience, the NFL’s football theme park, delivers a fan-friendly festival atmosphere. Fans can pose with the Indianapolis Colts’ Super Bowl XLI Vince Lombardi Trophy and the Heisman Trophy, view all 59 Super Bowl rings, and test their athletic skills with fan-favorite drill challenges like the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and bench press. Exclusive merchandise will be available at the NFL Shop presented by Visa. Fans are encouraged to wear their favorite team gear and celebrate both NFL and college football, and will have opportunities to win tickets to Super Bowl LXI in Los Angeles and the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
