The time has arrived for the NFL Draft 2022 as the finest players in college football prepare for life in the professional game.
The 32 NFL teams will select more than 260 players across seven rounds in three days. The Draft is quite a spectacle, and this year is no exception given that it’s being staged in Las Vegas.
Jacksonville Jaguars are the first team on the clock as they aim to inject star quality into their faltering franchise. They aren’t the only people on the clock, however.
The cost of following US-based sports in the UK is a jumbled body clock with the opening round of the NFL Draft to be held during unsociable hours for British fans.
However, there are three days of drama to soak up with later rounds being drawn at earlier times, meaning it’s not all late nights and drooping eyes for those desperate to tune in from the UK.
RadioTimes.com brings you all the details on when the NFL Draft 2022 starts this week in UK time, plus a schedule for the week.
When does the NFL Draft 2022 start in UK time?
