How to Watch the 2025 NFL Draft Without Cable

The three-day event will be broadcast across the NFL Network, ESPN, and ABC, with Friday’s coverage airing on ESPN2. Major cable networks provide the primary coverage, but plenty of cable-free ways exist to catch every edge-of-your-seat selection, trade, and potential new football star.

Your best bet for watching the entire draft is through a live TV or “skinny bundle” streaming service. These platforms offer on-demand content and add-on cable channels, including ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network. They are also more affordable and flexible than traditional cable. NFL+, ESPN+ and FuboTV will provide full coverage, including commentary, analysis, and exclusive content. Many of these services offer free trials, perfect if you want to tune in for the draft without committing long-term.

For cord-cutting football fans who like to play it old school, there’s always free over-the-air TV using a TV antenna. ABC is broadcast by affiliate stations across the country, so you’re likely to be able to watch the NFL Draft through your local ABC station.

    I don’t know how to watch free but for few $ you can watch it on ScreenVariety TV. There you can watch that game without any blackouts or some other popups.
