How to watch the 2020 AFL Draft in COVID-19 virtual format
The 2020 AFL Draft is going to look very different as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. Here’s how to watch the big night.
The 2020 AFL Draft is being held as a virtual TV event with players and teams based across the country.
While the spectacle will look brand new for footy fans, viewers can still watch the 2020 AFL Draft through Fox Footy on Foxtel channel 504, and through Kayo.

The event begins from the AFL’s Review Centre (ARC) from 7pm (AEST).
Unlike recent years, the Draft will take place over just one night with every draft prospect to learn their fate on Wednesday evening.
But there will still be plenty of smiles when young guns like expected No. 1 pick Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Logan McDonald hear their names read out tonight.
The Draft will begin at 7pm AEDT. Around the country, that looks like this:
NSW, ACT, Victoria and Tasmania — 7pm
South Australia — 6.30pm
Queensland — 6pm
Northern Territory — 5.30pm
Western Australia — 4pm
The Adelaide Crows have the first pick in the Draft, but widespread reports suggest the Western Bulldogs will grab Ugle-Hagan with the first selection because he is a product of the club’s Next Generation Academy.
SEN Radio will also supply live coverage of the NAB AFL Draft on Wednesday night.
