The NFL confirms that next year's Draft will be moved to May due to a scheduling clash at its Radio City Music Hall venue.

The NFL has announced that next year's Draft will take place two weeks later than usual.

The annual selection of college players will take place between May 8 and May 10 in 2014 due to a scheduling conflict at the Draft's venue, Radio City Music Hall in New York.

The league said in a statement: "The decision was made after discussions with club personnel and key NFL business partners. No decision has been made regarding the dates of the NFL Draft in 2015 and beyond.

"A variety of alternatives are being explored, teams were told, including holding the Draft at Radio City or at other locations, either in the New York area or in other cities."

It was reported last week that the players union and the league would discuss making the switch to May permanent after next year's Draft.
