For football fanatics planning on attending the 2026 NFL Draft on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, the NFL OnePass app will be the one-stop shop for all crucial information and resources.

The app can be downloaded on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Nicki Ewell, the NFL’s vice president of global events, said once fans download the app, they have to register to come to the event, which will result in a unique QR code being generated for each registration. Fans should follow the prompted instructions on the app.

This generated QR code on the app will serve as each fan’s ticket into the draft experience on the North Shore.

“Fans can register themselves — every adult and up to five minors to come down to the site,” she told TribLive. “That is a tool that we use to anticipate what we know is going to be hundreds of thousands of people over those three days.”

The NFL OnePass app will contain the following information, according to Ewell:

  • Draft schedule
  • Draft maps
  • Clear bag policy information
  • Permitted items
  • Player appearances and who’s signing autographs
  • Transportation plan information
  • Activity information

Fans can access all activities, which are free, at the draft through the OnePass app, TribLive previously reported.

However, people will not be able to sign up for activities ahead of time via the app. Reservations are not available in advance, so fans should expect to wait in line for each experience, Ewell said.

“We try to move you through as quickly as possible,” she said. “The same production company behind our Super Bowl experiences handles operations for the draft.

“Our goal is to keep lines moving so fans aren’t spending their day waiting, but instead enjoying the atmosphere, connecting with others and getting through experiences efficiently.”

Activities in the NFL Draft Experience will include:

  • On-field activities like the 40-yard dash
  • Attempting a field goal on the Acrisure Stadium Field
  • Youth clinics and NFL FLAG programming
  • Youth-focused Play 60 Zone
  • Meet current players and legends
  • Take photos with the Steelers six Vince Lombardi Trophies and all 59 Super Bowl rings
  • Shop exclusive merchandise at NFL Shop
  • The Autograph Stage

A fan map will be published ahead of the draft.

Also via the OnePass app, Ewell said messaging will be sent out to registered fans, such as “know before you go” information.

“It’s a tool that we use to communicate directly to the (fans),” she said. “It also is your access to come into the event; it’s absolutely free to come in.”
