With the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump expected to draw record viewership, you won't want to miss one gaffe, fact check, or fiery rejoinder. Thankfully, you have quite a few options for watching the event, depending on what kind of coverage you're looking for.

All the major networks will be showing the debate with their own pre- and post-debate coverage: ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC are all options for people who prefer to watch on TV. Facebook users can also stream the debate via ABC's page, here.

And while the networks can choose how to display the event — which candidate fills the screen, and when — C-SPAN presents another option for viewers with an ongoing split-screen. You can stream it live here, and also review every question and answer on their website.
