NFL draft 2020: Start time, how to watch and stream the first round - The Philadelphia Inquirer

The 2020 NFL draft begins Thursday at 8 p.m., but instead of taking place in Las Vegas in front of tens of thousands of fans with the Bellagio as a backdrop, this year we’ll get an intimate look at the basement of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who will announce picks from his New York home due to the coronavirus pandemic.

During the first round, each team has 10 minutes to make its pick, but some teams might be granted extra time if their remote equipment malfunctions while they’re on the clock. If the Birds still have the No. 21 pick, you can expect the Eagles to be on the clock for their selection around 10:45 p.m. EST, based on the the last few years of the draft.

COVID-19 has forced a number of changes on tonight’s draft. For starters, the 58 prospects the league has invited to participate will be filmed in their homes and miss out on bear hugging Goodell. ESPN and the NFL Network will air the same broadcast, which will be a mix of studio work and analysis-from-home. Trey Wingo will host for the fourth straight year since Chris Berman walked away from the gig in 2017.

For the second straight year, ABC will offer its own telecast, which is intended for casual fans and will focus more on the journey the prospects and their families have taken to reach the NFL. Rece Davis, Jesse Palmer, and Maria Taylor will handle ABC’s coverage, which, unlike last year, won’t feature any live musical performances.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch and stream this year’s NFL draft:

What time does the NFL draft begin?

The 2020 NFL draft is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern and run through 11:30 p.m. In addition to airing on ABC, ESPN and the NFL Network, the draft will also stream on the ABC app, the ESPN app, the NFL app, and on NFL.com (cable authentication is required).

Here’s how television networks are planning to cover tonight’s NFL draft.

Hosts Rece Davis, Jesse Palmer and Maria Taylor will spearhead ABC’s coverage of the draft, joined by analysts Todd McShay, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and David Pollack. Correspondent and feature reporter Tom Rinaldi will also be part of ABC’s broadcast.

ESPN and NFL Network

Trey Wingo will host all three days of ESPN and the NFL Network’s joint coverage out of ESPN’s studios in Bristol, Conn. Joining Wingo remotely will be ESPN analysts Mel Kiper Jr., Louis Riddick, and current Monday Night Football analyst Booger McFarland.
