Here are the streaming options for the 2025 NFL Draft.
As most NFL fans know, the draft will air live on several networks — ABC, ESPN, ESPN Deportes (Spanish broadcast), and the NFL Network. But if you're looking for streaming options, you're in luck!
You can watch the draft on platforms like ESPN Plus, NFL Plus, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV, and Sling TV.
Football fans can sign up for an ESPN Plus subscription for $11.99 per month (or save over 15 percent with an annual plan at $119.99 per year).
NFL Plus currently offers two subscription tiers. The regular plan costs $6.99 per month, giving you access to live Draft coverage on your TV, phone, tablet, or computer. It also includes the NFL Network, offseason content, live game audio, out-of-market preseason games, and live local and primetime regular-season games.
The premium tier, at $14.99 per month, offers all the above, plus the NFL RedZone, game replays, and NFL Pro.
Your best option might be YouTube TV, seeing as it's offering a five-day free trial. If you like the platform and decide to keep it around, you can get 25 percent off, bringing your first two months down to just $59.99 per month. After that, the base plan will cost $82.99 per month.
However, it's important to note that Hulu + Live TV is also offering a free three-day trial, which is perfect timing for the NFL Draft since it spans three days. After the trial ends, the subscription will cost $82.99 per month unless you cancel.
FuboTV is also offering a free trial.
As for Sling TV, it's offering special deals for its Orange and Blue tiers. With the Orange plan, you can get the first month for $35.99, then $45.99 per month after that. The Blue plan starts at $40.99 for the first month, with a monthly rate of $50.99 afterward.
If you want both tiers, Sling offers a combo deal: $55.99 for the first month, then $65.99 per month going forward.
Well, there you have it, folks — and don't miss a moment of the draft! The excitement kicks off with Round 1 on Thursday, April 24 at 8 p.m. EST. The second and third rounds start on Friday, April 25 at 7 p.m. EST. Last but certainly not least, the fourth through seventh rounds will air on Saturday, April 26, at 12 p.m. EST.
