The order of the first round of the 2025 MLB Draft will become official tonight at 5:30 ET when MLB Network broadcasts the league's third annual Draft Lottery live from the Winter Meetings in Dallas, with a simulcast also streaming on MLB.com and in the MLB App.

The Draft Lottery will determine the first six spots of the first round -- the most of any major sport -- and the remaining picks will go to the unselected teams with the worst records from the 2024 season. Each team's odds of winning are weighted so that teams at the bottom of the standings have the highest probability of securing a high pick. That also means that the team with the best odds of winning the top pick could select as late as seventh.
