Less than two months before the elections, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are preparing for their first presidential debate.

For those eager to watch, here is everything you need to know about the live broadcast of the debate tonight, on Tuesday, September 9, including how to watch, what time it starts, and much more.

The event will be broadcast at 9:00 pm Eastern Time and is expected to last 90 minutes, ending at 10:30 pm Eastern Time, with two commercial breaks.

The second nationwide debate of this cycle is taking place at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania is one of the seven battleground states that could help determine the outcome of the elections. According to the latest polls, Harris and Trump are currently tied in this state, which has 19 electoral votes.

The last debate between President Joe Biden and Trump took place in another battleground state, Georgia, at the CNN studios in Atlanta on June 27. In 2020, it was Pennsylvania’s electoral votes that helped Biden win and enter the White House, four years after Trump’s victory.

ABC News will broadcast the debate live on its channel in partnership with its local affiliate WPVI-TV/6ABC, as well as on its streaming platform ABC News Live, Disney+, and Hulu. ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir and ABC News Live Prime host Linsey Davis will serve as moderators for the debate.

CBS (Paramount+), CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox, Univision, PBS, Fox News, and The CW have also announced that they will broadcast the event live on their channels.

Viewers can watch the debate live on NBC4 or on the News4 streaming channel, available 24/7 and for free on almost all online video platforms, including The Roku Channel and Samsung TV Plus.

The rules of the debate are similar to the rules of the June debate between Trump and Biden. According to ABC, here are the rules for the clash:
