The 2025 NBA Draft is scheduled to take place over two consecutive days, Wednesday, June 25, and Thursday, June 26, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, the home court of the Brooklyn Nets. Fans can tune in to catch live coverage on ESPN platforms beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on both nights.
Day one of the draft, featuring the first-round selections, will be broadcast across ABC, ESPN, and the ESPN App. The second day will highlight the second round, airing exclusively on June 26.
For the second consecutive year, the draft will follow a two-day format. Similar to the previous year, teams will be allowed a five-minute window to make each selection in the first round, while the time limit for picks in the second round will be slightly shorter at four minutes. This time frame keeps the process efficient while still giving teams adequate moments to finalize their choices.
Anticipation for this year’s draft remains high as NBA hopefuls prepare to hear their names called, marking the beginning of their professional basketball journeys.
