2025 NFL Offseason Workout Schedules: Key Dates for OTAs and Mandatory Minicamps

NFL Offseason Workout Structure for 2025

The NFL offseason program is crucial for team development and player preparation. The league has structured these workouts into three distinct phases:

• Phase One: Focuses on meetings, strength conditioning, and physical rehabilitation (2 weeks)
• Phase Two: Includes individual drills and group work without contact (3 weeks)
• Phase Three: Features organized team practices known as OTAs (4 weeks)

During OTAs, teams can conduct:

• 7-on-7 drills
• 9-on-7 drills

All teams must hold at least one mandatory minicamp, typically occurring in June.
