2026 NFL Draft

Make PRT Your #1 Pick April 23-25

Pittsburgh is hosting the 2026 NFL Draft April 23-25 and transit will be the best way to catch all the action.

PRT will run two-car trains on the Blue Line and Red Line every 15 minutes from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. each day. The Silver Line will operate every 30 minutes between Library and Washington Junction.

All light-rail service and the Monongahela Incline is FARE FREE during the Draft courtesy of Sheetz.

PRT will also run four special Football Flyer bus routes from each of the cardinal directions.

These routes will serve nearby park and ride lots before making stops in Downtown Pittsburgh near Point State Park and near PNC Park on the North Side, steps away from all the Draft action.

The Football Flyers will run every 15 minutes on Thursday, April 23 and Friday, 24, and every 30 minutes on Saturday, April 25.

Football Flyer service is FARE FREE during the Draft courtesy of the Pittsburgh Organizing Committee and The Pittsburgh Foundation.
