NBA Confirms 2025 Draft Will Follow Two-Day Format

The draft will take place on June 25-26 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with expanded time for second-round selections.

The NBA announced that the 2025 draft will occur over two days, continuing the format introduced in 2024.
Round one will take place on Wednesday, June 25, and round two on Thursday, June 26, both starting at 8:00 PM ET.
The event will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with the first round airing on ABC and ESPN, and the second round exclusively on ESPN.
Teams will have five minutes per pick in the first round and four minutes per pick in the second round, offering more time for analysis and coverage.
The two-day format aims to provide greater visibility for second-round picks and alleviate logistical challenges from previous single-night drafts.
