Where is MLB draft in 2025? Location, rounds, dates of event
The MLB draft starts the beginning of a long — or sometimes short — path to making a 26-man roster in the big leagues. The 2025 MLB Draft kicks off that process for the latest crop of top prospects in baseball, ranging from high schoolers to college stars. REQUIRED READING: MLB All-Star Game starters 2025: See who fans picked, full voting results The Washington Nationals have the No. 1 overall pick in 2025, giving them their choice at the top player in the class. Whether it's Ethan Holliday — the son of Matt Holliday and brother of Jackson Holliday — or one of multiple high-end college pitchers available such as Kade Anderson, Liam Doyle or Jamie Arnold, there isn't a consensus top player for the Nationals to select. For the fifth consecutive year, the MLB draft will take place during All-Star weekend. The draft was typically held in mid-June before being moved for the 2021 MLB Draft. Here's what to know of the 2025 MLB Draft, including where it's located: Where is MLB draft located? The 2025 MLB Draft will be held just outside of Atlanta, where the MLB All-Star Game is being held this season. The draft will take place live from Coca-Cola Roxy, a concert venue located in Cumberland, Georgia. Starting in 2021, MLB moved the draft from mid-June to early-July to coincide with All-Star weekend. The 2026 MLB All-Star Game will be held in Philadelphia, which means the 2026 MLB Draft will also occur nearby. How many rounds are in the MLB draft? The MLB draft has 20 rounds, as the league shortened the draft in half starting in 2021. The MLB draft has lessened the selections slowly over time: The 1996 MLB Draft featured 100 rounds, before shortening to 50 rounds from 1998-2011 and 40 rounds from 2012-19. The 2020 MLB Draft was only five rounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic, before turning into its current state of 20 rounds. The MLB draft is now a two-day event, with the first three rounds, including compensation picks and competitive balance rounds, taking place on the first night of the event. The remaining 17 rounds occur the next day. When is the MLB draft? The first three rounds of the 2025 MLB Draft start at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 13, from Coca-Cola Roxy Cumberland, Georgia. The next 17 rounds take place beginning at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, July 14.

Juice WRLD's Final Album Debuts — Again
Juice WRLD's final posthumous album, The Party Never Ends, returns to U.K. charts, debuting on the ... [+] Official Physical Albums chart and reaching a new peak on the hip-hop tally. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - MAY 12: Juice WRLD performs in concert during "Death Race For Love" tour at Coca-Cola Roxy on May 12, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by) During his lifetime, Juice WRLD only released two proper albums, as well as a few mixtapes. Since his passing in 2019, the hip-hop superstar's estate has released almost as many collections, though it seems that there may be no more full-lengths coming for fans of the emo rapper. The Party Never Ends was released in November 2024, and the set was marketed as the last to come from Juice, though shortly after his passing, it was revealed that there may be hundreds of songs that were never released, so it is possible that more new music could be shared at some point. Months after The Party Never Ends hit a number of charts around the world, the set is back on the weekly rankings in the United Kingdom. The project returns to one list and even manages to debut on another as fans continue to buy the project. The Party Never Ends debuts on the Official Physical Albums chart this week. It comes in at No. 95 on the 100-space ranking of the bestselling EPs and full-lengths on any physical format. Sales of the project on vinyl, cassette, or CD — or any of them combined — can help place a favorite on the roster. Juice has pushed just two titles to the Official Physical Albums chart, and both of them appeared following his death. Fighting Demons remains his top performer, as it climbed to No. 33 in March 2022. He doubles his total sum as The Party Never Ends arrives. As it launches on the physical-only tally, The Party Never Ends also reappears on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart. On that genre-specific tally, Juice is back at No. 9. That's a new all-time peak on the list for what may very well be the final release from the pioneering musician. While No. 9 now stands as the highest point ever reached for The Party Never Ends, this is not its first week inside the top 10. Juice's final posthumous project opened at No. 10 in February of this year, then dropped to No. 39 and then disappeared. Now, just a few weeks later, it's back. When it was new, The Party Never Ends kicked off its time on the Official Albums chart, the U.K.'s list of the most popular full-lengths and short sets in the nation, at No. 5. It managed just four stays on the list before disappearing. The new win gave Juice his third top 10 in the U.K. and his second highest-rising win of his career, including those collections released during his lifetime and since his death.
