The first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is expected to bring in a record number of viewers. Here's everything to know about Monday's first debate between Trump and Clinton, including start time, where to watch, who's moderating and more.

Debate start time

The highly anticipated debate is on Sept. 26 from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Eastern. It will be the first time the two candidates will appear together in this campaign.

Trump drew large audiences in his GOP primary debates. Some experts think this matchup will attract a record number of viewers, tuning in to see Trump and Clinton go head-to-head.

New York-based Republican strategist Susan Del Percio told the New York Post that she predicts the debate "could be bigger than the Super Bowl." This year's Super Bowl drew 112 million viewers.

Debates can often be game-changing moments for candidates. Just one soundbite of gaffe can sway voters.
