Reports: ESPN extends NFL draft rights through 2030

By NFL Premium News Aug 6, 2025 | 8:23 PM

ESPN will remain the home of the NFL draft through 2030, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday.
ESPN’s draft rights had expired after the 2025 event in Green Bay.
The extension came in the wake of this week’s news that ESPN is selling a 10 percent equity stake to the NFL.
The NFL confirmed a “multi-year extension” on Wednesday but did not provide a specific end date.
The year 2030 is significant as it will mark the 50th edition of the draft on ESPN, which launched in 1979 and began broadcasting the event the following year.
Starting with the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Disney+ and Hulu will also begin streaming draft coverage.
