College players entering the NFL Draft will descend on Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis to be weighed, measured, and appraised in the slightly-bizarre spectacle that is the combine, beginning on Tuesday, Feb. 26 and wrapping up on Monday, March 4. As usual, the combine is broken up into 11 different groups of players with staggered arrival dates. Players arrive, go through registration, have hospital pre-exams and X-rays, orientation and interviews with teams on the first day. Your complete guide to the 2019 NFL offseason From the top 100 free agents, to mock drafts, to scouting reports, we’ve got everything you need to get through the offseason, all in one place. On the second, it’s measurements, medical examinations, and more interviews. The third day has more interviews, the bench press, an NFLPA meeting, media availability and psychological testing. The fourth is the on-field workouts and drills. When the first group of arrivals is on, say, Day 2 of their combine experience, the second group is on Day 1, and so on and so forth. Groups 1, 2, and 3 will arrive on Tuesday, Feb. 26 and are comprised of offensive linemen, running backs and special teamers. Groups 4, 5, and 6 will arrive on Wednesday, and are comprised of tight ends, quarterbacks and wide receivers. Groups 7, 8, and 9 arrive on Thursday, and feature defensive linemen and linebackers. Finally, groups 10 and 11 arrive on Friday, and include defensive backs. Viewing information for the NFL Combine can be found below.

The scouting event that takes place in Indianapolis each year doubles as a convention — and, in some ways, a party — for NFL team executives, general managers and coaches as free agency and the draft draw near. So the schedule for the 2019 NFL Combine is about much more than the 300-plus NFL Draft prospects whose on-field workouts will be televised by NFL Network on Friday, March 1 through Monday, March 4.

To learn more about the schedule for the 2019 NFL Combine, you're already in the right place. Below is all you need to know about the 2019 NFL Combine schedule, including how to watch on TV and how to live stream the action online. 2019 NFL Combine Dates : Tuesday, Feb. 26 - Monday, March 3 : Tuesday, Feb. 26 - Monday, March 3 Location : Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, In. : Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, In. TV channel : NFL Network : NFL Network Live stream: fuboTV | DAZN (Canada) Where is the 2019 NFL Combine? The 2019 NFL Combine will take place in Indianapolis, In., where it has been held each year since 1987. Lucas Oil Stadium, which opened in August of 2008, will be the host venue for the NFL Combine for the 10th consecutive year. The NFL Combine is closed to the general public. However, the event's website offers tickets to "a limited number of fans" to what it calls "NFL Combine Inside Look." When is the 2019 NFL Combine? The 2019 NFL Combine technically begins Tuesday, Feb. 26, when the first three groups of players arrive in Indianapolis for registration and orientation. However, fans will not see NFL Combine action on TV until on-field workouts begin Friday, March 1. The final day of the NFL Combine is Monday, March 4, when the final defensive back groups finish their on-field workouts. Beginning Wednesday, Feb. 27, a handful of NFL head coaches and general managers will be made available to media. Expect to hear from them about non-NFL Draft-related topics, too — the Steelers/Antonio Brown saga, for example — as the Combine is known as a convention for NFL team executives, a place where they can illegally discuss trade or free-agency proposals in person, as much as it is a scouting event ahead of the draft. Media availability for 2019 NFL Draft prospects begins Thursday, Feb. 28 and runs through Sunday, March 3.
