The combine has been held in Indianapolis since 1987, but in recent years the NFL has shown interest in moving it around the country, as it has done with the draft.
Dallas and Los Angeles bid on hosting the combine in 2022, the last time the contract was up, but Indianapolis reached a two-year agreement through 2024.
Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Colts, is the site for on-field drills, which draw thousands of fans with their free attendance. The city's convention center and hotels are located in easy walking distance from the stadium.
This year's combine runs from Feb. 27 through March 4.
"We know cities across the U.S. consistently vie to host all of the NFL's events," Visit Indy president and CEO Leonard Hoops said in a statement. "We appreciate the NFL's continued confidence and partnership with Indy, and we are looking forward to continued growth in our city."
