Where to watch the NFL Draft: Channels, start times, TV schedule for 2026 Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3

By | April 25, 2026

With another year comes another opportunity for young talent to get called up to the pros — the 2026 NFL Draft is happening in Pittsburgh this week.

The Raiders kicked off the draft as expected, taking Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick Thursday. After that, chaos reigned in the first round.

Unexpected picks like Jeremiyah Love to the Cardinals at No. 3 and Ty Simpson to the Rams at No. 13 had everyone talking, and eight trades during the first round kept everyone on their toes. Day 2 saw two more QBs go off the board, with the Cardinals taking Carson Beck to open Round 3 and the Steelers keeping Drew Allar on familiar turf. 

What’s in store for the third and final day? 

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 NFL Draft, including TV channel and streaming options.
