How to watch Biden and Trump's final presidential debate


Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and President Trump will face off for the second and final time Thursday night.
Every major network and cable news outlet — ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News, PBS, and MSNBC — will air the debate live on TV from 9-10:30 p.m. EST. ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox News and C-SPAN will all stream the debate on YouTube, as well as Facebook. The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other outlets will also air the debate on their websites, as will major networks. Roku users can watch the debate via the Roku TV Channel, while on other devices, Newsy, CBS News, CNN, NBC News, Fox News, and ABC News all have apps that will air it.
NBC News' Kristen Welker will moderate the debate, and will be the first Black woman to do so in decades. Last week's debate was called off after Trump tested positive for COVID-19 and refused to participate in a virtual debate.
