How to Watch the Vice Presidential Debate Without Cable

Vice presidential candidates Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. J.D. Vance are heading into their first (and only) debate stage meeting ahead of the 2024 election. Here's where to watch live on Oct. 1.

When is the vice presidential debate?

The vice presidential debate is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 9 p.m. ET and is expected to last 90 minutes plus two four-minute breaks. The event is being held at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City and will be moderated by "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell and "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan.

Where can I watch the vice presidential debate?

As the debate host, CBS News will be streaming the event for free online via CBS News Live and its YouTube channel for those who don't have a cable subscription. The debate will also air on CBS and be available on any cable replacement streaming service that carries the channel (such as YouTube TV) as well as on Paramount+.

Other media outlets, such as C-SPAN and PBS News, will also carry the live stream.

Will there be another debate?

This is likely the last debate before the Nov. 5 election. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced off on Sept. 10 and floated the possibility of additional meetings, but as of this writing, there are no more debates scheduled for any of the candidates.
