The 2026 NFL Draft is nearly here. Three days of excitement, hope, and probably a little bit of chaos await football fans this weekend as the annual marathon event begins on Thursday evening.
The Green Bay Packers head into this year’s draft with eight selections, but without a first-round pick after trading it away to acquire Micah Parsons last August. That means that Packers fans know they will be waiting until Friday for the team to make its first selection, as the team currently holds the 52nd
overall pick.
Of course, there should still be plenty of intrigue and excitement on day one of the Draft, and plenty of reason to tune in. Here are all the details on how and when you can get plugged in and follow this year’s NFL Draft.
