When is 2026 NFL Draft deadline for underclassmen?
Underclassmen must declare for the 2026 NFL Draft by Jan. 5 if they intend to forego their remaining eligibility. Underclassmen participating in the College Football Playoff have until Jan. 23 to declare for the NFL draft.
Players are eligible to enter the NFL draft after being removed from high school for at least three years and using up their remaining college eligibility. The NFL allows for underclassmen to declare early, pending league approval, however.
Underclassmen were recently allowed by the NFL to compete in college all-star games, which were typically reserved for players eligible for the NFL draft without special draft eligibility.
When is 2026 NFL Draft?
The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is set for April 23, 2026, in Pittsburgh. Rounds 2 and 3 will be held on April 24, before Rounds 4-7 take place on April 25.
