How to watch the final night of the Democratic National Convention

Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech will be closely watched as she formally accepts the Democratic Party’s nomination for president

The Democratic National Convention ends tonight at the United Center in Chicago, normally home to the Blackhawks and the Bulls.

There are many options to watch, stream or listen.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has coverage planned across all of its platforms, including live and recorded convention highlights, news, reaction and analysis on AJC.com, through our photo coverage and on our video platforms.

When does Kamala Harris speak?

Vice President Kamala Harris is the featured speaker on this final night of the convention as she formally accepts the Democratic presidential nominatio . The exact timing is uncertain but is likely to come about 10:30 p.m. The evening session began at 7 p.m. EDT. Harris is the final scheduled speaker, following a substantial list that includes Georgia U.S. Rep Lucy McBath, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, civil rights leader Al Sharpton and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.

The networks: ABC, CBS and NBC will carry programming at 10 p.m. EDT daily. PBS (Channel 8 in Atlanta) will carry programming at 8 p.m. EDT each day. You can also watch the convention on AJC.com.

Cable news: CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC will have extensive daily coverage via cable, livestreams and their apps. Scripps News, available on digital TV and many cable platforms, will offer coverage at 8 p.m. each day.

Listen: National Public Radio will offer nightly coverage, including local broadcasts on WABE and on NPR.org at 9 p.m. each day. Sirius XM customers can listen to audio from coverage on Fox News (Channel 114), CNN (Channel 116) and MSNBC (Channel 118).

Gavel to gavel: For extended views of the convention business outside of prime time, your best bets are C-SPAN and the Democratic National Convention channel on YouTube and on DemConvention.com. The DNC website promises programming for “people watching, gathering and participating across the country” on its social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook and X, the former Twitter.

Can the public attend?

Unless you have connections, probably not. The DNC website says the convention is open to credentialed media, delegates and guests. And volunteers. But volunteer registration is already closed.
