Trump vs. Clinton debate: Here's where you can watch live online
Will the first presidential debate between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump be the most-watched debate in history? Some political analysts think so.
"It could be bigger than the Super Bowl," New York-based political consultant Susan Del Percio told the New York Post. This year's Super Bowl drew a whopping 112 million viewers, the third-largest audience in NFL history, according to CNN.
The major new networks will carry the debate live. But if you cut the cable cord, there are still several ways to watch. The first of three debates between Trump and Clinton is scheduled for Sept. 26 from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Eastern at Hofstra University in New York.
