Narrative:

We had been cleared for the visual to runway 26R. We continued to follow the RNAV 26R inbound course and altitudes. Approximately 1 NM prior to xovgo I visually picked up a white quad copter drone approximately 2 ft in diameter hovering slightly left of centerline and approximately 200 feet below our altitude. I immediately notified ATC. No evasive action was necessary. ATC relayed the information to aircraft that were following us on approach.
