The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off tonight in Pittsburgh, where the Dallas Cowboys will begin to welcome a new group of rookies to the roster.

All eyes will be on the first round, which features several teams with multiple first rounders, including Dallas, with an expected early run on defenders and there's always chaos amid rumors, trades and unexpected selections.

The Cowboys are once again picking in the Top 15 after missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season.

Here's how to watch the 2026 NFL Draft today, including time, TV schedule, streaming information and odds for the Top 10:

The 2026 NFL Draft will broadcast on ABC, ESPN and NFL Network. Streaming options for the draft include FUBO, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.

The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft starts at 8 p.m. in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The Cowboys have two first round picks, No. 12 and No. 20. Barring a trade, there's a rough estimate of when those times will be, but a new wrinkle makes this a tough guess. The NFL has reduced the time in between first-round picks from a maximum of 10 minutes to a maximum of 8.

Last year, the Cowboys selected Tyler Booker at 9:26 PM eastern. Allowing 6 minutes for the pomp and circumstance before the No. 1 pick is on the clock, that's 80 minutes. 80% of that time (8 minute max instead of 10) is 64 minutes, or around 9:10.

The 20th pick in last year's draft, the Denver Broncos selecting Jahdae Barron, happened at 10:20 eastern. That's 134 minutes after the Titans first went on the clock. 80% of that is 107 minutes, or around 9:53 pm ET.

But remember, if the Cowboys trade up or back, these estimates fly out the window.

Streaming options for the game include FUBO, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.
