The 2026 NFL draft begins Thursday, April 23 at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. Arizona time). While the draft spans three days, only the first round will be Thursday. By the end of the night, 32 players will be NFL players.
The Las Vegas Raiders have the first overall pick, and the Arizona Cardinals pick third overall.
Due to trades, not every team has a first-round pick. A whopping six teams have two first-round selections — the New York Jets, New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys.
What is the full order of the first round? Barring any other trades, this is the order of the first round of the 2026 NFL draft.
