The draft order is established through a lottery for the 14 teams that did not make the playoffs, where the three teams with the worst records each have a 14% chance of securing the first pick. After the top four, the remaining picks in this group are assigned based on regular-season performance. The second-round order is determined entirely by the teams' records.

The 2026 NBA Draft will be accessible to fans via ABC and ESPN for the first round, while the second round can be viewed on ESPN. Make sure to tune in for this exciting event!
