Here’s the latest I can share:
- The NFL Draft typically starts in late April with Round 1 on the first Thursday night (commonly 8 p.m. ET in recent years), followed by Rounds 2-3 on Friday evening and Rounds 4-7 on Saturday afternoon. This pattern has held for recent years, including 2024 and 2025, though exact start times can shift by year and location.[4][6]
If you want the precise start time for this year’s draft, I can look up the official schedule and broadcast details for 2026 and provide the exact ET start times for each day, the location, and the TV channels. Would you like me to pull that now?[2][4]
