For the second straight year, the drama of the NHL Draft Lottery will play out in real time for all to see.
Like the lottery in 2025, instead of watching a countdown from 16 to 1 after the lottery balls have been drawn behind the scenes, fans will watch on live TV as the lottery balls are drawn at NHL Network’s studio in Secaucus, New Jersey, on Monday (7 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS).
The 2026 Upper Deck NHL Draft will be at KeyBank Center in Buffalo on June 26-27.
The four-number combinations for each team are posted on NHL.com and fans can punch in the numbers on the Flourish graphic to see which teams are still in contention for the No. 1 pick after each ball is drawn.
