While the vice presidential debate is often a less-watched event, this year could be different given the high interest in both JD Vance and Tim Walz and the tight race between Harris and Trump.

Any lead could be enough to put a candidate in the White House as the campaign enters its home stretch, especially with voting quickly underway.

Do you have any questions about tonight’s debate? We have answers.

What time does the vice presidential debate start?

The debate will take place on Tuesday, October 1 at 9:00 PM ET.

Who will host the vice presidential debate?

CBS News organizes the debate and will simultaneously broadcast it online.

How long will the vice presidential debate last?

The debate is expected to last 90 minutes.

Can I watch the Vance-Walz vice presidential debate for free if I don’t have cable?

Yes. CBS is hosting the debate – and all four broadcast networks plan to air it live, as does PBS. An over-the-air antenna is required to monitor the sky. And you want to be sure to test that equipment in multiple locations in your home to find the most reliable signal.

How can I stream the vice presidential debate online if I don’t have a cable subscription?

If you don’t have an antenna, CBS will stream the debate online via many platforms including Paramount+ and CBS News 24/7 (Other networks will likely offer the CBS stream on their sites as well.)

Other options include:

Biggest+

CBS’ streaming service gives you a one-week free trial, followed by a monthly fee of $8 or $13.

Disney+

Disney’s Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ bundle no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $17 per month for all three together (or $30 per month if there are no ads on Hulu).

If you include Live TV in the bundle, which you need to watch the debate, the price rises to $77 per month ($90 without ads).

Hulu with live TV

The free trial of this service is also no longer offered. It will now cost you $77 per month.

Max

The former HBO-Max, owned by CNN‘s parent company, will conduct the debate live. Subscriptions start at $10 per month.

YouTubeTV

After a trial period of up to two weeks, you can expect to pay monthly fees of $73.

Sling TV

Dish Network’s Sling lower “Orange” plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive ‘Blue’ plan increases the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial is gone, but the cord-cutting service offers a 50% discount on the first month’s bill.

DirectTV stream

Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow, and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will cost you $80 per month and more after the free trial option.

Fubo TV

This sports-focused cord-cutting service serves broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly fees of $80 and up, depending on the channels you choose.

What are the rules for this vice presidential debate?

Moderators will not fact-check the candidates in this debate, but the microphones will remain on, allowing the candidates to fact-check each other, but CBS reserves the right to turn those microphones off.

There will be no live audience for this debate, nor will the candidates make any opening statements. And only moderators can ask questions. There are also two commercial breaks, but candidates are not allowed to consult with their staff during those periods. Candidates are given two minutes for closing statements.

Who moderates the vice presidential debate?

CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell and Confront the nation moderator Margaret Brennan will host the vice presidential debate.

When is the next debate?

At this time, there are no plans for another debate, between Vance and Walz or between Trump and Harris. Harris has pushed for a second meeting between the presidential candidates, but Trump has said he will not attend.
