How to watch the 2026 NBA Draft: Where to stream live, start time, draft order and more
· Yahoo Sports
The 80th edition of the NBA draft will take place this week at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with the first round on June 23 and the second round on June 24. During the NBA draft lottery, held back in May, the Washington Wizards secured the No. 1 draft pick (a complete list of the entire draft order is below). While there's no draft prospect that's a clear choice for No. 1, we would expect to see college stars like BYU forward AJ Dybantsa, Duke forward Cameron Boozer, and North Carolina's Caleb Wilson among those selected early. (Here's a more detailed look at the top 60 prospects.)
The first night of the draft will air on ABC and ESPN at 8 p.m. ET, and the second night will air on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET. You can stream the entire draft on the ESPN App with the Unlimited tier. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch the 2026 NBA draft.
