The Indianapolis Colts get news they have been waiting for, which makes the 2026 season feel closer than ever
The 2026 NFL season has never felt closer for the Indianapolis Colts now that they know their offseason schedule including the dates for their OTA’s an mandatory minicamp.
The Indianapolis Colts‘ offseason has already been eventful. The team handed out massive contracts to quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Alec Pierce. And moved on from veteran players Zaire Franklin and Michael Pittman Jr. by trading them away.
The team didn’t use free agency to add many notable outside talent, but they still have time to make moves through the 2026 NFL Draft. The Colts now know the full schedule of their remaining offseason programming, which makes the 2026 season feel closer than ever.
Colts 2026 offseason schedule released
- First Day: April 21
- OTA Offseason Workouts: May 26-27, May 29, June 1-2, June 4
- Mandatory Minicamp: June 9-11
Next up on the Colts’ priority list is the NFL Draft, which runs from April 23 through April 25. Due to the Colts’ trade for Sauce Gardner, they do not have a first-round pick, meaning without a surprising trade, their first pick will come on Friday, April 24.
After the draft ends, their focus will move towards their upcoming offseason programming. OTAs begin on May 26 and run through multiple dates, concluding on June 4.
After OTAs conclude, the Colts move into mandatory minicamp, the first offseason event where the full roster is expected to be together for a three-day window starting on Tuesday, June 9, and running through Thursday, June 11.
The Colts will then break until their 2026 training camp begins. Those dates are not yet released, but are likely to begin sometime between mid and late July. At that point, the Colts will bring 90 players together and battle it out for the team’s 53-man roster.
