2025 Draft
cheeseheads and football fans… get ready for the 2025 draft!
WHAT IS THE DRAFT?
The Draft is a weekend-long event where all 32 teams in the National Football League have the opportunity to add some of the most talented and promising prospects to their roster. The 2025 Draft is in Green Bay, Wisconsin. A team’s draft pick is in reverse correlation with their previous season’s success, so the Green Bay Packers pick will be determined by where they finish in the 2024-25 NFL Season. The event is FREE to the public. Those who can’t attend in person can keep tabs on all of the information through the NFL OnePass app. Green Bay Packers fans and visitors can watch the Draft on the Lambeau Field Campus, enjoy activations in Titletown and take part in local business community celebrations.
