The 2025 NBA draft will be the 79th edition of the National Basketball Association's annual draft. Like the 2024 draft, this draft will take place over two nights. The draft will consist of 59 picks as opposed to the full 60 picks due to the New York Knicks losing a second round pick from a free agency violation in 2022.{{Cite web |last=Bontemps |first=Tim |date=December 21, 2022 |title=Knicks lose 2025 second-round pick over Jalen Brunson signing |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35299743/knicks-lose-2025-second-round-pick-jalen-brunson-signing |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221221213030/https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35299743/knicks-lose-2025-second-round-pick-jalen-brunson-signing |archive-date=December 21, 2022 |access-date=January 28, 2025 |work=ESPN}}

The first round of the draft will take place on June 25, 2025, while the second round will take place on June 26. Both rounds will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The time between second-round picks will remain four minutes, a change that was made from the previous year's draft.{{Cite web |date=January 28, 2025 |title=NBA Draft 2025 to take place June 25–26 at Barclays Center |url=https://www.nba.com/news/nba-draft-2025-set-barclays-center-june-25-26 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250128213419/https://www.nba.com/news/nba-draft-2025-set-barclays-center-june-25-26 |archive-date=January 28, 2025 |access-date=January 28, 2025 |work=NBA.com}}{{Cite web |date=January 28, 2025 |title=2025 NBA draft set for June 25–26 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/43601353/2025-nba-draft-set-june-25-26-barclays-center-brooklyn |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250128213727/https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/43601353/2025-nba-draft-set-june-25-26-barclays-center-brooklyn |archive-date=January 28, 2025 |access-date=January 28, 2025 |work=ESPN}}

Eligibility and entrants

{{Main|Eligibility for the NBA draft}}

The draft is conducted under the eligibility rules established in the league's 2023 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its players' union.

  • All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. In terms of dates, players who were eligible for the 2025 NBA draft must have been born on or before December 31, 2006.
  • Since the 2016 draft, the following rules are, as implemented by the NCAA Division I council for that division:{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14564613/date-nba-draft-commitment-pushed-may |title=College players given extra time to mull NBA draft decision |first=Jeff |last=Goodman |publisher=ESPN |date=January 13, 2016 |access-date=April 19, 2022 |archive-date=July 13, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160713103619/http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14564613/date-nba-draft-commitment-pushed-may |url-status=live }}
  • Declaration for the draft no longer results in automatic loss of college eligibility. As long as a player does not sign a contract with a professional team outside the NBA or sign with an agent, he retains college eligibility as long as he makes a timely withdrawal from the draft.
  • NCAA players now have 10 days after the end of the NBA Draft Combine to withdraw from the draft. Since the combine is normally held in mid-May, the current deadline is about five weeks after the previous mid-April deadline.
  • NCAA players may participate in the draft combine and are allowed to attend one tryout per year with each NBA team without losing college eligibility.
  • NCAA players may now enter and withdraw from the draft up to two times without loss of eligibility. Previously, the NCAA treated a second declaration of draft eligibility as a permanent loss of college eligibility.

= Early entrants =

Players who were not automatically eligible had to declare their eligibility for the draft by notifying the NBA offices in writing no later than at least 60 days before the event. For the 2025 draft, the date fell on April 26. Under the CBA a player may withdraw his name from consideration from the draft at any time before the final declaration deadline, which usually falls 10 days before the draft at 5:00 pm EDT (2100 UTC). Under current NCAA rules, players usually have until 10 days after the draft combine to withdraw from the draft and retain college eligibility.

A player who has hired an agent for purposes of negotiating with professional teams{{efn|Due to changes in rules regarding student athlete compensation in the 2020s, players can hire agents to manage appearances and endorsements while retaining college athletic eligibility.}} retains his remaining college eligibility regardless of whether he is drafted after an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee. Players who declare for the NBA draft and are not selected have the opportunity to return to their school for at least another year only after terminating all agreements with their agents,{{efn|Specifically agents hired to negotiate with professional teams. Relationships with agents hired for other purposes are not affected.}} who must have been certified.{{cite web |title=Flexibility for going pro and getting a degree |url=https://www.ncaa.org/about/flexibility-going-pro-and-getting-degree |publisher=NCAA |access-date=April 19, 2023 |archive-date=December 8, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201208115245/http://www.ncaa.org/about/flexibility-going-pro-and-getting-degree |url-status=live }}

Invited attendees

The NBA annually invites players to sit in the so-called "green room", a special room set aside at the draft site for the invited players plus their families and agents. Since the transition to a two-day draft, the NBA sends out invites in waves. The first wave was reported on June 10, with thirteen players confirmed to have receieved invitations.{{cite web |title=Sources: Flagg leads first batch of NBA's green room invites |url=https://www.espn.com.sg/nba/story/_/id/45487081/sources-flagg-leads-first-batch-nba-green-room-invites}}{{cite web |title=NBA Invites 13 Prospects To Draft Green Room |url=https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2025/06/nba-invites-13-prospects-to-draft-green-room.html}}
