How to watch the NFL Draft 2025: TV channel and live stream today
The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft takes centre stage tonight. The highly-anticipated annual three-day event is this year taking place in Green Bay, Wisconsin, home of the Packers, with the Tennessee Titans owning the No1 overall pick after finishing with the worst record in the NFL during the 2024 regular season. They are widely expected to use that top selection on Miami star Cam Ward, who is the leading quarterback in an NFL Draft class that is rather light on elite prospects at the game's most important position, particularly when compared to last year when all of the top three picks were signal-callers, as well as six of the top 12 overall. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders' landing spot is among the biggest storylines in this draft, as is the future of former Buffaloes team-mate and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, an accomplished two-way college player at both wide receiver and cornerback who could help redefine the way the game is played if others follow his lead. Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter has many who believe him to be the best overall talent available in the draft, with LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham also expected to be selected high on Thursday night. TV channel: The 2025 NFL Draft is being shown live in the USA on NFL Network, ESPN and ABC. In the UK, coverage of the first round begins on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Action and Sky Sports Mix from 1am BST (8pm ET and 5pm PT) in the early hours of Friday morning. Sky Sports will also have live coverage of rounds 2-3 and 4-7 on Friday and Saturday respectively, while those with a subscription can also watch live via NFL Game Pass on DAZN. There will be live text coverage of the first round on the BBC Sport website and live radio coverage on talkSPORT 2.
