Hillary Clinton tipped the scales in her favor with a solid performance at the first debate. Donald Trump hoped to stop the bleeding in the second debate, but two days before he took the stage, the now-infamous tape leaked.

Now, with Trump losing ground in even the reddest of states, the third and final debate might be his last chance to stabilize his campaign and begin to claw back into the race. Read on to find out how you can tune in live.

Like the previous two, the third presidential debate will begin at 9PM ET. Clinton and Trump will join one another on stage at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, where Fox News anchor Chris Wallace will serve as the moderator.

The debate will feature six 15-minute segments, each devoted to a single topic: debt and entitlements, immigration, the economy, the Supreme Court, foreign hot spots and the candidates’ fitness to be President of the United States.

If you prefer to watch the debate on television, you can do so on the following broadcast networks: ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS and Univision. There are also several cable networks on which you can watch the debate, if you prefer the hosts on one of these channels instead: CNN, Fox News Channel, Fox Business NetworkMSNBC, CNBCFusion and C-SPAN.

No TV? No worries. The debate will also be all over the internet, streaming live on Twitter at debates.twitter.com, on Facebook on the ABC News Facebook page or on countless YouTube channels, including the one we’ve embedded above.

No matter the outcome, this should be a fascinating debate.
