When is the 2022 NFL Draft, how can I watch?

The 2022 NFL Draft runs three days from Thursday, April 28 through Saturday, April 30. The event will take place from Las Vegas, Nevada.

  • Round 1: Thursday, April 28 at 8 p.m. ET
  • Rounds 2 and 3: Friday, April 29 at 7 p.m. ET
  • Rounds 4 through 7: Saturday, April 30 at 12 p.m. ET

Immediately after the draft concludes (the Niners actually own the final pick of this year’s draft at No. 262 overall), teams will scramble to sign undrafted players, otherwise known as undrafted free agents (UDFAs).

Teams may hold up to 90 players on their offseason rosters.

How can I watch what the 49ers do in the 2022 NFL Draft?

The 2022 NFL Draft will be a nationally televised event.

ABC, ESPN and NFL Network will all broadcast coverage of the draft, covering all three days live, although San Francisco fans might have to be patient with their team’s first pick, currently not scheduled to take place until the end of Round 2.
