On Oct. 4, the vice presidential candidates will square off at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia.
"The debate will be divided into nine time segments of approximately 10 minutes each. The moderator will ask an opening question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a deeper discussion of the topic," according to the Commission on Presidential Debates.
Then, Trump and Clinton will face each other again on Oct. 9 at Washington University in St. Louis. That debate will be moderated by CNN's Anderson Cooper and ABC News' Martha Raddatz.
It will be in the form of a town hall meeting, "in which half of the questions will be posed directly by citizen participants and the other half will be posed by the moderator based on topics of broad public interest as reflected in social media and other sources," according to the commission.
The third and final debate will take place on Oct. 19 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. It will be moderated by Fox News' Chris Wallace and will have the same format as the first debate.
All of the debates take place in prime time, from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Eastern.
