The NBA Draft takes place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday, June 26 for the first round, which broadcasts on ABC and ESPN, and Thursday, June 27 for the second round, which broadcasts on ESPN. The start time for both days is 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

If you don’t have cable, the best way to stream online is with DirecTV Stream (starting at $69.99/Mo.) or Fubo (starting at $79.99/Mo.). Currently, the streamers are offering a 5-day and 7-day free trials, respectively, so you can watch both days of the event for free.

In addition, the NBA Draft is also streamable with Hulu + Live TV, which has a 3-day free trial, and Sling Orange + Blue.

The bottom 14 teams that didn’t make the playoffs were eligible for the draft lottery back in May with the worst teams in the league with the best chances to get a top three pick.

However, the Atlanta Hawks, a team that only had a 3% chance to get the top pick, shocked the NBA world by actually being named with the No. 1 draft pick in the NBA Draft. The team is expected to select French forward Zaccharie Risacher with the top pick.
