When is the third US Presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and how can I watch it in the UK?

Tom Powell4 December 2016

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are set to meet in one final, explosive debate before the US goes to the polls.

Nicknamed “Fight Night” due to its Las Vegas location, the 90-minute event promises to be another bitter clash between the fierce presidential rivals.

A record-breaking 83 million people tuned into the first presidential debate, while the second conjured up a poignant moment when both candidates were asked to pay each other a compliment for the first time.

Mr Trump is expected to come out fighting again in Las Vegas, having dropped behind in the ratings after the first two debates. He also lost ground after tape recordings of him making lewd comments about women back in 2005 were released.

What time and where is the third debate?

The live debate will take place at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, at 9pm ET. In the UK it will begin at 2am (Thursday 20 October).

How can I watch it in the UK?

American news outlets including NBC, PBS, Fox and CNN will all be live streaming the debate on YouTube. ABC will also be streaming the debates on its Facebook page.

Both Sky and BBC are also offering live coverage of the debate.

What format will the debate take?

The third debate will return to the same format as the first, with Chris Wallace of Fox News as the moderator.

The 90 minutes will be divided into six segments of 15 minutes, each beginning with a question from the moderator followed by two minutes for each candidate to answer.

The moderator can then ask any follow-up questions.

When is the vote?

It has been a marathon US election, but the world will finally discover whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in just under a month. The results will be counted on Tuesday 8 November but in the UK it is most likely we will not know the identity of the winner until Wednesday morning.

Before that, they will be flying around the county in a last-ditch attempt to persuade voters.

Of particular focus will be swing states such as Florida, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada – where the final debate is taking place.
