The 2023 NFL Draft is finally upon us as Round 1 of the festivities begins on Thursday night. Every football fan is going to be tuned in to see the likes of Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Will Anderson Jr. get picked off the board first, but beyond those three future stars, it's likely going to be a major toss-up.

Here's all you need to know about how to watch the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Time and Date

The entire 2023 NFL Draft will span three days. It will happen on April 27 and 29, with Round 1 going down on Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET. The second and third rounds will be picked on Friday starting at 7 p.m. ET, while Rounds 4 through 7 will take place on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET. There's obviously going to be much more attention on the opening round, with teams given 10 minutes to make each pick. On the other hand, teams will have seven and five minutes per pick, respectively, on Friday and Saturday.
