How to Watch the 2020 NFL Draft

To watch the 2020 NFL draft live you will need cable or you will need to sign up for a streaming service that includes ABC or ESPN. You can do this with a free trial if you have not already signed up for one.

We recommend one of the following services to get ESPN or ABC live on your TV or your smartphone. There is no commitment, but if you don’t want to roll over into a subscription you will need to cancel.

• Sign up for a ESPN+ Trial
• Sign up for a Hulu Live TV Trial

• Sign up for a FuboTV trial

Any of these options will allow you to watch the 2020 NFL Draft on ABC or ESPN. This is an easy way to watch all three nights of the draft without committing to anything long term.

Each of these services works on the iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, and on most smart TV devices like the Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV Stick.

You can also listen on SiriusXM, Westwood One or ESPN Radio if you can’t watch. The virtual draft is taking place in homes across the nation and not in a central area so this will definitely be an interesting one to watch.
