Last year, with the pandemic still in its early stages, the Draft was held virtually, and ESPN and NFL Network combined their coverage. This year, the Draft will once again be held in a traditional setting in Cleveland, with both ESPN and NFL Network televising it. Additionally, ESPN will produce a broadcast for ABC on Thursday and Friday before the network simulcasts the traditional ESPN coverage on Saturday.
