How to watch Round 1 of the 2023 NFL draft: Time, TV and streaming info

After months of speculation and rumors, the first round of the 2023 NFL draft kicks off tonight with the Carolina Panthers on the clock at No. 1 overall.

The first round kicks off at 8:00 p.m. ET, and the Washington Commanders hold the No. 16 overall pick. Overall, Washington holds eight selections in the 2023 draft.

Four teams have two selections on night one, and there are only 31 selections in this year’s first round. The NFL stripped the Miami Dolphins of their first-round pick after they were accused of tampering.
