After being isolated with no sporting events whatsoever in what can feel like an eternity at times, the 2020 NFL Draft is finally upon us. This year’s draft will be the first-ever fully virtual draft in league history, which is likely bound to toss us a curveball or two.

Thursday night kicks off a jam-packed three day, seven-round event where the stars of tomorrow see their NFL dreams come true.

Find out below how to watch, when to watch, and who to watch for on Day 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

You can enjoy the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft through numerous outlets. ABC, ESPN & NFL Network will each be airing the event live, while the latter two will be joining forces on their broadcasts with the same feed ending up on both channels.

If you don’t have cable don’t fear, you can stream the Draft live through multiple selections of services. SlingTV, YouTube TV, Fubo TV, and Hulu Live all offer at least one of the three channels (ABC, ESPN, NFL Network) that will be broadcasting the event. Each service also offers some sort of free trial.

If you can’t find your way to a TV, the Draft will also be available live through the WatchESPN and NFL Mobile apps available for both Android and IOS.
