The NFL Draft is Coming. Are You Ready to Make History?

April is officially on the clock.

There’s something magical about the NFL Draft season. Maybe it’s the wild trades, the bold predictions, or just watching dreams become reality as college kids step into the big leagues. But for NFL Rivals players? The real action starts the moment our Draft Program goes live on April 24th, right alongside Round 1 of the real deal. And believe us, you won’t want to miss this one.

What’s New This Year?
Just like the real NFL Draft, every team gets a shot. And in NFL Rivals, every player does too. This year’s Draft Program is loaded with 40 unique NFL players, from future rookie phenoms to Draft Day steals of years past. That means a mix of legends, epics, rares, and of course, 32 rookie cards—one for every first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. These rookie cards aren’t just digital trophies. They come with live stat-boosting potential that evolves based on how each rookie performs in the 2025-2026 NFL season. So go ahead; make your predictions, lock in your future stars, and maybe snag the next breakout beast.

Get In Early – Prediction Packs Are Back!

Before the draft even kicks off, you’ll get a chance to test your inner GM skills with NFL Draft Prediction Packs. These are live 1-2 weeks ahead of the draft, giving you a chance to flex your football IQ and win big if you guess right.

Will that QB really go top 3? Will your favorite team reach for a punter again? Take your shot and get rewarded.

5 Weeks of Draft-Day Hype

The NFL Rivals Draft Program runs from April 24 to May 29, and here’s what’s packed in:

• 26 Players in Packs: Featuring 10 legendary, 8 epic, and 8 rare. Luminous editions rotate weekly to keep you chasing.
• 11 Chase Players: Found in the shop and weekend-only events.
• 3 Exclusive Program Players: One in the campaign, two in the Power Pass.

The Program HUB

Think of it as your Draft war room. It’s the command center where you’ll find:

Currency = Caps. Grind ‘em. Spend ‘em. Win Big.

You’ll earn Caps, the official currency of the Draft Program, through weekly live events. Caps can be spent in the Program Store on everything from Contender player editions to blueprints and resource packs.

There are two main types of live events:

• Currency Events: Two each week, rewarding participation and effort.
• Chase Events: One per weekend, featuring a must-have chase player with bonuses for smart lineup building.
