Press & Media Registration – National Scouting Combine
The National Scouting Combine (NSC) has become one of the most unique events in football, offering the press and media an inside look at the athletes, stories, and competition that shape the future of the sport. Now entering its 16th year and returning for the second time to the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples, Florida (January 5–9, 2026), the NSC stands as the second-largest combine in the country — behind only the NFL Combine.
For media outlets, the NSC represents an opportunity to cover:
- Hundreds of draft-eligible and free agent athletes competing for their shot at the next level
- The College All-Star Game Showcase, now nationally recognized as a premier event
- Exclusive player features and human-interest stories, many highlighting under-the-radar prospects from smaller schools
- The scouting and evaluation process that draws coaches, recruiters, and agents from across the country
Members of the press and media who attend will receive full event access, including:
- Press credentials for combine testing and competitions
- Media areas with interview availability for athletes and coaches
- Access to event data, results, and performance reports
- Reserved coverage areas during the College All-Star Game
The NSC isn’t just about testing numbers — it’s about capturing the journeys, challenges, and breakthroughs of athletes who are chasing their dreams at the highest level. Whether you’re looking to produce breaking coverage, feature pieces, or social media content, the NSC provides a front-row seat to stories that resonate with fans, athletes, and communities nationwide.
