Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will debate on Tuesday, Sept. 10 on ABC.

The 2024 U.S. presidential election looms ever closer. Americans head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 5 to determine if Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States, and voters can see the two candidates debate for the first time on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC, with simulcasts available on CBS, Fox, NBC, and various cable networks. There will be several ways to stream the debate for free, but our top choice is with a 5-Day Free Trial of DIRECTV.

About 2024 U.S. Presidential Debate, Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump

David Muir and Linsey Davis of ABC News will moderate the debate and will be the only two people allowed to ask the candidates questions. The debate will be 90 minutes in length, with two commercial breaks built in. Candidates will have two-minute answers to questions, two-minute rebuttals, and one extra minute for follow-ups, clarifications, or responses.

Microphones for each candidate will be muted while their opponent is speaking. There will be no audience in the room, and moderators will seek to enforce timing agreements and ensure a civilized discussion. As per the results of a coin toss, former President Trump has chosen to offer his closing statement last.

How to Stream the 2024 U.S. Presidential Debate, Harris vs. Trump for Free

Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV has the Disney Bundle free in addition to a free trial.

Hulu + Live TV is The Streamable’s No. 1 choice for watching the debate, because of its three-day free trial offer, a very generous cash-back deal, and all of the channels you need to stream the event.

ABC is available in all of the biggest broadcast markets with Hulu + Live TV, and plans starting at $76.99 per month include free access to the Disney Trio Bundle, which means subscribers get Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ at no extra cost.

Hulu + Live TV is also offering a first-month discount to new subscribers, giving you access to everything that comes with an account for just $46.99 ($30 off) after the free trial.

DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM has CBS, Fox and NBC for customers who see their ABC stations blacked out.

There are several methods for watching the first 2024 U.S. presidential debate at no cost, and one of the best is DIRECTV STREAM. It comes with a five-day free trial, so voters can stream the debate and watch the service for most of the rest of the week at no cost. DIRECTV is in a carriage dispute with Disney that has knocked ABC stations off DIRECTV STREAM, but viewers can still watch the simulcast on CBS, Fox, or NBC. After the trial is over, plans start at just $79.98 per month with DIRECTV STREAM’s limited-time discount.

Sling TV

Sling TV may not have a free trial, but it still comes with some great deal offers.

Sling TV does not offer a free trial, but it does have two offers available that cord-cutters who want pay-TV channels should pay attention to. The first is a deal for 50% off a new subscriber’s first month of service, and if Sling delivers ABC, NBC, or Fox to your area this is a great choice. It cuts the price of a Sling Blue subscription to just $20 for your first month.

The second is the Sling TV Season Pass, which is a great deal for sports fans. Customers who prepay for four months of Sling service with Season Pass get all the channels of both Sling Orange and Blue, as well as the Sports Extra Add-On for $50 per month (a $66 monthly value).

Fubo

Fubo has a free trial, as well as a huge amount of sports channels for viewers to enjoy.

Fubo offers a free trial of at least one day’s length to new customers (depending on what time of month you sign up), so it’s also a good option for watching the 2024 U.S. presidential debate. Fubo is a terrific option for sports fans, with a huge range of national and regional sports networks in its lineup, in addition to local broadcast channels. Fubo is offering new customers $30 off their first month of service for a limited time.

YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a good last resort for watching the debate free.

YouTube TV also carries local broadcast networks in a large selection of markets, and offers most new customers a free trial of up to two weeks. However, it does not bundle any on-demand streaming services with its cable channels, nor does it have an introductory offer as low as other services on this list are currently offering. Plans to this service regularly start at $72.99.
