However, while the location changes, the NFL Draft broadcasts will stay the same. ESPN is back with its 46th-straight year covering the event, and the network will once again expand its coverage to include ABC. Additionally, the NFL Network will have its own broadcast, as it has done for the past two decades.

Who are the 2025 NFL Draft announcers?
The NFL Draft will be broadcast on multiple channels, as ESPN and the NFL Network will both have coverage on all three days. Disney, however, will actually have multiple broadcasts, as ABC will have an alternate broadcast for a seventh-straight year to go along with its traditional broadcast.
ESPN has been broadcasting the draft since 1980, and Mel Kiper Jr. has been on the broadcast since 1984. This will be Kiper's 42nd-straight year covering the event for ESPN, the most of anyone working during the draft.
