The 2025 NBA Draft is scheduled for two days: the first round on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, and the second round on Thursday, June 26, 2025. Both rounds begin at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. The draft will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The event will be broadcast on ESPN and ABC, with the first round airing on ABC and both rounds available on ESPN. This draft will have 59 selections across two rounds, one less than the typical 60 picks due to the Knicks forfeiting a second-round pick.
