If you’re planning to watch, here’s all you need to know about tuning in live tonight, Tuesday, Sept. 9, including start times and viewing options.
When Is the Debate?
The debate will begin at 9 p.m. ET and is scheduled to last 90 minutes, concluding at 10:30 p.m. ET, with two commercial breaks.
This debate, the second of this election cycle, will be held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, a nonprofit that educates the public about the U.S. Constitution. The venue has hosted significant political events before, such as a Democratic primary debate in 2008 and several ABC News town halls prior to the 2020 election.
How to Watch
David Muir of ABC’s World News Tonight and Linsey Davis of ABC News Live Prime will moderate the debate. It will be broadcast live on ABC, in partnership with local affiliate WPVI-TV/6ABC, and available for streaming on ABC News Live, Disney+, and Hulu.
Other networks including CBS (Paramount+), CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox, Univision, PBS, Fox News, and The CW will also broadcast the event live.
You can also watch the debate live on NBC4 or the News4 streaming channel, accessible 24/7 for free on platforms like The Roku Channel and Samsung TV Plus.
What’s Next?
Currently, there are no additional presidential debates scheduled, making tonight’s event between Trump and Harris potentially the only chance for voters to see them debate before Election Day.
However, the vice presidential candidates — Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Republican Senator JD Vance — are set to debate on October 1, with CBS News hosting the event.
