Who is hosting the Harris-Trump debate?

ABC is hosting the debate and will simulcast it online.

How long will the Harris-Trump debate last?

The debate is scheduled to last 90 minutes.

Can I watch the Harris-Trump debate for free if I don’t have cable?

Yes, easily. ABC is hosting the debate—and all four broadcast networks plan to carry it live, as will PBS. Watching over the air requires an over-the-air antenna. And you’ll want to test that equipment in multiple locations in your home to find the most reliable signal.

How can I stream the Harris-Trump debate online if I don’t have a cable subscription?

If you don’t have an antenna, ABC will stream the debate across many platofrms online, including the ABC News website, as well as other Disney properties, including Disney+ and Hulu. (Other networks are likely to carry the ABC stream on their site as well.)

Other options include:

Disney+

Disney’s bundle of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $17 per month for all three combined (or $30 per month for no ads on Hulu).

Including Live TV in the bundle, which you’ll need to see the debate, bumps the price to $77 per month ($90 with no ads).

Hulu with Live TV

The free trial on this service is no longer offered, as well. It will now cost you $77 per month.

Max

The former HBO-Max, owned by CNN’s parent company, will carry the debate live. Subscriptions start at $10 per month.

YouTubeTV

After up to a two-week trial, you can expect monthly charges of $73.

Sling TV

Dish Network’s Sling lower-tiered “Orange” plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial has disappeared, but the cord-cutting service is offering 50% off of the first month’s bill.

DirecTV Stream

Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $80 per month and up after the free trial option.

Fubo TV

This sports-focused cord-cutting service carries broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $80 and up, depending on the channels you choose.

What’s are the rules for this presidential debate?

The candidates went back and forth over the rules for this debate. The Harris campaign wanted the microphones turned on the whole time, while the Trump campaign wanted them turned on only for the candidate whose turn it is to speak. In the end, the Harris campaign agreed to the muted-mic rule, but said doing so would shield Trump from direct exchanges with the vice president.

There will be no live audience in this debate, nor will the candidates give any sort of opening statement. And only moderators can ask questions. There will also be two commercial breaks, but candidates will not be allowed to confer with their staff in those periods.

Who is moderating the Harris-Trump debate?

ABC anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis will moderate tonight’s debate.

When is the next presidential debate?

That’s still an unknown. While the Harris campaign said in August that both campaigns had agreed to three debates before Election Day, the Trump campaign has not confirmed that. No other debate between Harris and Trump is currently scheduled.

Vice presidential candidates J.D. Vance and Tim Walz will meet on Oct. 1, in a debate hosted by CBS.
