The NFL Draft typically occurs annually in the spring, with the exact dates varying each year. For example, the 2025 NFL Draft took place from Thursday, April 24 to Sunday, April 26. The first round started at 8:00 PM ET on April 24, followed by rounds two and three on April 25, and rounds four through seven on April 26. The event location also changes, with the 2025 Draft held in Green Bay, Wisconsin, near Lambeau Field.
The draft consists of seven rounds, where teams pick players based on their previous season's reverse order standings, with the worst record team picking first and the Super Bowl winner picking last. Each team has a specific time to make their selections in each round—10 minutes in the first round, less time in subsequent rounds.
If interested in the current or upcoming NFL Draft dates, it follows a similar spring schedule each year, typically spanning three days from Thursday through Saturday or Sunday.
