What time does Day 3 of the NFL Draft start?

The first two days of the 2024 NFL Draft offered just as much intrigue and excitement as football fans could have asked for. We saw talented players slip further than expected while a few surprise selections caught us off guard.

Now fans are anxious to see how their favorite team will put the finishing touches on their 2024 draft class as they hope to end things with a bang. Soon all 32 NFL front offices will be on the phone nonstop as they attempt to ink deals with the best priority free agents. But before that, they will use their remaining draft capital to bolster their roster.

Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft consists of Rounds 4-7. Surprisingly, we are less than halfway through the total number of picks that will be made in the draft this year. But we are about to kick things into top gear.

So what time does the NFL Draft pick back up today? Here's what you need to know.

What time does the NFL Draft start today?

Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft will begin at noon Eastern Time. Because the third day of the draft is on a Saturday, it will start much sooner than the primetime evening slots it saw on Thursday and Friday.

How long does Day 3 of the NFL Draft last?

The final day of the 2024 NFL Draft is set to run from 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time to 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This makes for a total run time of up to 7 hours.

In Rounds 4-6, teams will have just 5 minutes on the clock to make their selection. This number goes down to just 4 minutes for each team in Round 7 (the final round of the draft).

If every team took the entire time on the clock to make every selection on Day 3 of the draft, this makes for a possible run time of 12 hours and 48 minutes. This won't happen, as picks will be ushered in much faster. Expect a total run time of 6-7 hours.

How to watch Day 3 of the NFL Draft?

The final Day of the 2024 NFL Draft can be viewed on ABC, ESPN, or NFL Network. Fans looking to stream the game can do so with a subscription to YouTube TV or Hulu+, but we recommend a seven-day free trial to FuboTV.
