If fans aren't interested in watching the NFL draft this year, they'll have to try harder than ever to avoid it.
The league on Wednesday announced the broadcast schedule for the event, which takes place from April 26-28 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas — and its reach is far greater than ever before.
For the first time, the entire three-day event will air on broadcast television, with FOX airing the first two days (Rounds 1-3) and ABC showing Day 3 (Rounds 4-7).
In addition to FOX's first time simulcasting the event, ESPN will again have live coverage of Rounds 1-3, and ESPN/ABC will supplement its live Round 1 coverage on ESPN 2 with a separate college-themed production in addition to a simulcast of ESPN’s live coverage of Rounds 4-7 on ABC.
