In a groundbreaking move, the NFL is bringing fans closer to the Scouting Combine than ever before, all from the comfort of their own homes. This year, the Combine, presented by Microsoft Copilot, is offering fans a unique opportunity to engage with one of football’s key events without leaving their favorite viewing spot.
Free Access to the NFL Scouting Combine
Fans can now enjoy a free "Inside Look" at Lucas Oil Stadium, providing an up-close, in-stadium experience to see the league's future stars in action. The Combine Experience is set to immerse fans in a festival atmosphere filled with interactive activities, photo opportunities, and exclusive NFL merchandise.
How to Join the Action
Taking place from February 26 to March 1, the Combine Experience and "Inside Look" invite fans into the heart of Lucas Oil Stadium. This event is more than just watching drills; it’s about witnessing top prospects as they make strides toward the 2026 NFL Draft. Peter O’Reilly, NFL executive vice president, emphasizes the excitement of welcoming fans into the stadium to see future stars up close.
Inside Look at Lucas Oil Stadium
The "Inside Look" offers fans an immersive experience with live analysis from on-camera hosts, storytelling, exclusive interviews, and enhanced video board features. This event is designed to bring the behind-the-scenes energy of the Combine directly to fans, with music, fan polls, and appearances by NFL Legends enhancing the on-field action.

Outside the stadium and throughout the concourses, the Combine Experience transforms into a football theme park. Fans can get up close with iconic trophies, including the Colts’ Super Bowl XLI Vince Lombardi Trophy and the Heisman Trophy.
