2026 NFL Scouting Combine Invites Announced

The NFL announced the list of 2026 NFL Scouting Combine participants and the number of invites continues to trend downwards. Full list inside.

NFL Combine List Presented By Sports Management Worldwide Football Career Conference — Indianapolis — February 26th.

The NFL released the list of players invited to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, scheduled to take place in Indianapolis, from February 23 through March 2.

A total of 319 prospects have been invited to attend this year’s event, a number that matches the low-mark of 2023. In fact, since the end of the COVID-era, the NFL has downsized the number of combine invites in recent seasons. Over the last five years (322), ten fewer players have been invited to Indy on average, compared to the previous five years (332).

Unfortunately, this leaves many deserving players out in the cold. We strongly believe that the NFL should consider expanding combine invites, rather than downsize. Not all pro days are created equal and we are all for opportunity! The combine serves as the ultimate equalizer, as players operate on the same schedules, same surface, visit the same medical facility for physicals and are guaranteed to be seen (and meet) with all 32 NFL teams.

While team, player and media interviews will occur earlier in the week, live televised coverage of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine will begin February 26 on NFL Network. Be sure to check back at All Access Football for our Combine Confidential reports.
