When is NFL Draft 2023 and how to watch: Start time, channel, streaming

The 2023 NFL Draft is live from Kansas City starting on Thursday night.

After Thursday evening’s first round selections, the event will continue into the weekend with rounds 2-3 on Friday and 4-7 on Saturday.

There are plenty of question marks in this year’s draft, including the controversy surrounding defensive lineman Jalen Carter as well as which quarterback will come off the board first.

Unlike last year’s draft, the 2023 version is rich in QB talent — with multiple signal-callers expected to hear their names called in the first round..

There is also plenty of non-quarterback talent to be had, with big names on both offense and defense like wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, running back Bijan Robinson, edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. and cornerback Christian Gonzalez.

It’s setting up to be a very entertaining draft and if you’re not in Kansas City to watch it live, don’t worry, we have you covered.
