The NFL Draft kicks off Thursday in Pittsburgh with a new wrinkle for 2026, as the picks should come faster than ever.
Teams will now have just eight minutes on the clock to make their first-round selections, down from 10 minutes in recent years and 15 before that. The latest TV-friendly adjustment to the annual event will keep the pace high and help discourage wandering away or changing channels between picks.
Also helping in that regard: This first round feels as unpredictable as any in recent memory. After the Raiders' expected selection of Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza at No. 1, there doesn't seem to be much consensus about where other prospects will land.
That's a formula for reaches, slides and trades, so the 2026 draft should be a must-watch for football fans.
Here's all you need to know about when and where to tune in for the festivities.
