The first presidential argumentation between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is tonight at 9 pm ET , 6 pm PT . And while every broadcast mesh will be airing the public debate commercial message - detached , cordcutters might be wondering how to look out without a traditional TV connection . Well , we ’ve got you cover up .
Thankfully , cordcutters have a vast array of options to watch the debate this time of year , unlike the rather bare bones offerings of debates in past election bike . An estimated 100 million people are expected to tune up in tonight , which would blow away the previous viewership record for a presidential argument made in 1980 between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan . rough 80 million people check Carter and Reagan , and those poor schmucks did n’t even have a single Snappychat or Twitter Tweet between the two of them .
Whatever pass off , all center will be on Trump and Clinton tonight . And cordcutters have so many choice . Many livestreams have a pregame schedule that get one hour before ( 8 pm ET/5pm PT ) and sometimes even two hours before ( 7 pm ET/4pm PT ) the actual debate starts . But if you ’re only interested in the main outcome , ensure your Zea mays everta is crop up and your deplorables are deplore by 9 pm ET , 6 pm PT .

Tonight ’s debate will be moderated by NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt . It ’s still unclear if Holt will “ factcheck ” either prospect in material time , or just sit there like a robot read questions from a teleprompter , as some believe he should .
