2026 NFL OTA Dates and Offseason Workout Schedule for All 32 Teams

The NFL has officially released the 2026 offseason workout program calendar for all 32 teams. Voluntary programs begin as early as April 6 for some clubs, with mandatory minicamps scheduled throughout June. All 32 teams will complete their offseason programs before training camps open later this summer.

The nine-week voluntary offseason program operates in three phases under Article 21 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Phase One covers the first two weeks and is limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation. Phase Two spans the next three weeks and allows on-field individual and group drills at a walk-through pace, with no live contact. Phase Three runs for four weeks and permits up to 10 days of organized team activity (OTAs), including 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills, though live contact remains prohibited throughout.

Additionally, under Article 22 of the CBA, each club is permitted to hold one mandatory minicamp for veteran players during Phase Three. New head coaches are entitled to conduct an additional voluntary veteran minicamp before the NFL Draft (April 23-25). Ten clubs will hold voluntary veteran minicamps this offseason. Rookie programs may begin as early as May 11, 2026, with post-draft rookie minicamps scheduled for the first or second weekend following the draft.

Below is the complete 2026 NFL offseason workout schedule, organized by division.
