The presidential debate will air live beginning at 9 p.m. It’s slated to last 90 minutes and include two commercial breaks.

Per a survey released Wednesday by The Associated Press, 60% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely” or “very” likely to tune in.

There are multiple ways to watch:

  • It will be aired on CNN, CNN International, CNN en Español and the streaming platform Max, formerly known as HBO Max. It also will be available for simulcast by other networks
  • It will also be livestreamed on CNN’s website, on ajc.com and on the AJC’s news app
  • Several watch parties have also been scheduled across the metro region, including events being thrown by both political parties to raise money

AJC’s team of political reporters will also be live blogging the debate here.
