2024 NFL Draft Viewing Guide: How to Watch, Who's Picking When & More

Check out Bleeding Cool's viewing guide to the 2024 NFL Draft on ESPN, ABC, and more: where to watch, who's picking when and so much more!

At this point, there might only be one day remaining on the calendar that isn't either an official or unofficial part of the NFL season – a professional sport that proves to be nearly as popular during its off-season as when the games are being played. With that in mind, tonight and for the next two days, ESPN and Disney are teaming up to present the 2024 NFL Draft across ESPN, ABC, ESPN2, ESPN Radio, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN's social media platforms. Broadcasting live from Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Downtown Detroit, the next seventy-two hours will determine the futures for a whole lot of young men & their families and the franchises they join (and those who have big bucks wagered through sports betting). So how do you get in on the action? We're glad you asked! Here's a rundown of what's going on, when it's going on, where it's going on, and so much more when it comes to the 2024 NFL Draft. And don't forget to check out the NFL's rundown of the draft-picking order for every round over the course of all three days.

Where Can I Watch the 2024 NFL Draft?

Draft Night #1 (Thursday, April 25th, at 8 pm ET) will air on ABC and ESPN

"The Pat McAfee Show Draft Spectacular" (Night #1: Thursday, April 25th, at 8 pm ET) will be telecast on YouTube, TikTok, and the ESPN App, and streamed on ESPN+. Pat McAfee and his crew (Conor Campbell, Ty Schmit, Tone Digs, AJ Hawk, 2009 NFL draftee Darius Butler, and Evan Fox.) will be live from Detroit to host a wide range of personalities and analysts to break down picks while also presenting the Draft experience from a fan perspective.

Draft Night #2 (Friday, April 26th, at 7 pm ET) will air on ABC and ESPN2

Draft Day #3 (Saturday, April 27th, at 12 pm ET) will air on ESPN and simulcast on ABC

In addition, the NFL Network and the football league's digital properties will also be providing coverage.

What Are the Differences Between the 2024 NFL Draft Broadcasts?

ESPN: The telecast will focus on areas of need for each team, the draftee's football resume – with highlights and analysis on his playing style, technique and physical attributes – and how he will fit in with the team that drafted him.

ABC: The telecast will provide player analysis with a deeper emphasis on storytelling, providing viewers insight into the draftee's background and journey to the NFL.

Now, here's a rundown of who will be reporting inside the studios and down in the heart of the action, as well as other options you have to enjoy the 2024 NFL Draft. Following that, we have a rundown of who's picking when for all seven rounds:

ESPN Hosts & Analysts: Hosted by Mike Greenberg, the lineup includes Mel Kiper Jr., Booger McFarland, Louis Riddick, Adam Schefter, and Molly McGrath.

In addition, there will be six reporters stationed at team facilities across the country (including at the locations of the teams with the top three picks) to give fans access to immediate reactions from team Draft rooms: Courtney Cronin – Chicago Bears, Jeff Darlington – Minnesota Vikings, Kimberley A. Martin – Washington Commanders, Sal Paolantonio – New York Giants, Mike Reiss – New England Patriots, and Ed Werder – Denver Broncos.

ABC Hosts & Analysts: Hosted by Rece Davis, the lineup includes Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Field Yates, Laura Rutledge, and Pete Thamel.

Chris Carlin will host alongside 2005 NFL draftee Chris Canty, ESPN NFL front office insider Mike Tannenbaum, ESPN Radio college football reporter Ian Fitzsimmons, and ESPN NFL Draft analyst Jordan Reid, who will be joining the group on Friday and Saturday.

ESPN Deportes: Eduardo Varela and Pablo Viruega will deliver exclusive Spanish-language coverage from ESPN's headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, alongside NFL experts Sebastián M. Christensen and Miguel Pasquel. In addition, reporter Carlos Nava will be on-site in Detroit.

ESPN.com DraftCast: Not only can fans track every pick of the Draft, but they will also get instant analysis from ESPN draft analysts on how the draftee will fit with his new team. ESPN NFL Nation reporters will also keep fans up to date throughout the draft, providing rapid reaction for all 257 picks. Available on ESPN+, recaps of all three days of the Draft will be posted each night. After the Draft wraps up on Saturday, Mel Kiper Jr. will give each team a post-Draft grade and explanation, while Matt Miller and Jordan Reid will pick steals, surprises and more.
