Giants to host NFL draft block party at Hudson Yards

The New York Giants will host their 2026 Draft Night Block Party at Hudson Yards in Manhattan on Thursday, April 23, the team announced.

The event, presented by Moody’s, is free and open to the public. Activities are scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. in the Public Square and Gardens near the Vessel, leading up to live coverage of the NFL draft’s first round.

Early festivities running until 6 p.m. include a live DJ, meet-and-greet sessions with Giants alumni, and a dedicated kids’ zone with face painting. Fans will also have access to photo opportunities with the Super Bowl trophy and team merchandise.

The evening program begins at 7 p.m. with a performance by DJ Envy followed by appearances from current players and team legends. The stage will also host a “look-alike” contest for fans resembling collegiate stars Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo, with winners receiving autographed items and tickets to a 2026 home game.

“The Giants Draft Party is a fan-favorite event for all ages,” the team said in a statement.

The Giants will offer comprehensive draft coverage throughout the week, including a live reaction show on the team’s digital platforms immediately following their selections. Additional programming includes a draft preview on WFAN on April 20 and a full recap special on NBC-4NY on April 30.

Tickets are not required for the event. While Hudson Yards is accessible via public transportation, paid parking will be available at the Jacob Javits Center and Hudson Yards garages. Additional details can be found at Giants.com/draftparty.
