Walz-Vance debate: when is it and how can I watch?

The pair will face off just weeks after Donald Trump and Kamala Harris faced off during the ABC debate and just 35 days before the election on 5 November.

The 90-minute debate is scheduled to begin at 9pm ET on Tuesday, 1 October. It will take place in New York City and be hosted by CBS News.

In the US, the debate will air live on CBS News. It will also be livestreamed on their YouTube channel.

Major news networks are likely to carry the debate in prime time. PBS will have live coverage of the debate.

In the UK, the BBC News Channel and BBC One will air the debate, with coverage from 1am-5am BST on Wednesday. In Australia, you can watch the debate on the ABC News Channel.

The Guardian has a team of reporters in New York City and will be covering the debate on a live blog and through live analysis and news.

Like the Harris-Trump debate, there will be no live audience in the studio, but unlike the two presidential debates so far, the microphones for both candidates will not be muted. The moderator retains the ability to mute their microphones, however. There will be two commercial breaks.

Vance and Walz will have two minutes for closing statements. Vance won a virtual coin toss and elected to get the last word.

Voters head to the polls on 5 November.
