How can you follow along with all of tonight’s action?
Well, everybody, we’ve finally made it! Tonight, the 2025 NFL Draft will get underway in Green Bay, and the Minnesota Vikings (along with the 31 NFL teams who don’t matter nearly as much) will be adding fresh young faces to their rosters.
You might be wondering how, exactly, you can follow along with all of tonight’s action. Fear not, because we have it all here for you.
Start Time
The broadcast of the 2025 NFL Draft will start at 7:00 PM Central this evening. There will be several different ways you can consume your Draft coverage.
Television Coverage
Four different networks will be providing coverage of this weekend’s festivities: ABC, ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and the NFL Network. ESPN Deportes is, obviously, your option if you want to watch things en Español. For the English-speaking networks, your decision will probably depend on what you want to hear about.
Both ESPN and the NFL Network will have their focus on each individual team, team needs, and the player’s potential impact on the team. ABC, on the other hand, will have a greater focus on the draftee’s road to the NFL Draft and have a greater emphasis on storytelling. Again, it’s all a matter of personal preference.
In addition, if you’re watching internationally, you’ll be able to watch the Draft on NFL Game Pass. I’m assuming that’s the NFL Network’s coverage but I’m not totally sure about that.
Radio Coverage
If you’re traveling or just prefer to listen to things on the radio, you can check things out on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Channel 88, or your local ESPN Radio affiliate (Channel 80 on satellite). Many Westwood One affiliates will also be broadcasting the NFL Draft as well.
Streaming Coverage
There are a lot of streaming and online options for you if you want to watch through your phone. NFL.com will be providing coverage, as will the NFL+ app for those of you who have it. You can also stream it on the ABC app, the ESPN app, or the ESPN Deportes app.
If you want an alternative to the alternative, there’s the Pat McAfee Show Draft Experience, which will be available on YouTube, TikTok, the ESPN app, and ESPN+.
Daily Norseman Coverage
There isn’t going to be a live Draft show this year. . .well, not one that yours truly is going to be on, anyway. But, as always, I will be interacting with folks on social media via the @DailyNorseman handle on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter). And, of course, I’ll be here updating everything the Vikings are doing in our Draft Tracker, just as you’ve become accustomed to over the years.
We sincerely hope that a lot of you will be coming to hang out here during the 2025 NFL Draft to see what the Minnesota Vikings do and get excited over the newest additions to the team. After all, this is the last big event before the NFL basically goes into hibernation until training camp, so we could just as well have a good time with it.
See you tonight, folks!
