On Thursday, April 24, the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off at 8 p.m. ET live from Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Of course, you can watch the entire NFL draft on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and NFL Network, but what if you don’t have cable? With livestreams and cable-cutting becoming more and more popular, let’s examine some alternative broadcast options.
Where Can I Watch The NFL Draft Live?
Just to get it out of the way: if you have an over-the-air antenna, you can watch all three days of the draft for free on ABC.
But if you are like most of civilization and use various streaming services or internet platforms for your media consumption, there are several ways to watch the draft live.
So long as you have access to YouTube, TikTok, the ESPN app, or ESPN+, you can watch the 2025 NFL Draft live as part of “The Pat McAfee Show Draft Spectacular.” McAfee and his crew will be in Green Bay covering the first day of the draft, and coverage will stream across each platform beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
If you’re looking for a different option, you can view a livestream of the draft on either the NFL Mobile app or Watch ESPN app. You can also catch a livestream of the event at either ESPN.com or NFL.com.
2025 NFL Draft Order
The draft is tomorrow night, and no major trades up have occurred, leaving the draft order the same since the end of last season.
The Tennessee Titans have the No. 1 overall pick after winning a tie-breaker with the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants. All three clubs finished 2024 with an abysmal 3-14 record. The tie-breaker was the strength of schedule, and the Titans had the weakest schedule of the bunch.
