Although the November election is more than four months away, the start of debate season is coming in hot.

After preceding the autumn debate schedule from the Commission on Presidential Debates, Democratic incumbent President Joe Biden will go head-to-head against Republican frontrunner and former President Donald Trump in CNN’s Atlanta studio this Thursday, June 27.

The last 2020 debate between the pair drew over 60 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media, but this year, there will be no live audience; viewers will watch on their TVs, laptops, tablets, and phones.

Can I watch the debate if I don’t have cable?

Yes!

A live stream of the ‘CNN Presidential Debate’ will be available on USA TODAY via YouTube, which takes place on Thursday, June 27, at 9 p.m. ET.

CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate the in-studio debate, with several networks planning to provide commentary before and after the big production. ABC is set to host the next debate on Sept. 10.
