Depending on who you’re rooting, you might have a different interpretation of the first presidential debate, but regardless of whether you’re voting for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, the polls show that Clinton came out on top.

With the race trending in Clinton’s favor, the second debate wasn’t expected to draw as much attention. That was before a tape of Donald Trump making lewd comments about women in 2005 surfaced on Friday afternoon. We wouldn’t blame you if you’re suddenly far more interested in tuning in when the second debate kicks off at 9PM ET tonight at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.

Like the first presidential debate, the second debate will air on every major broadcast network. You can watch on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and Univision without commercial interruption. If you have cable, the debate will also appear on major news networks such as CNN, Fox News, CNBC, MSNBC and C-SPAN.

If you prefer computers and streaming devices to TV broadcasts, there are plenty of options online as well. Once again, the simplest option is the watch a stream on YouTube, which we’ve included right here for your convenience:

If you’re an Amazon fan, you can watch through a variety of Amazon apps as well, including CBS All Access, ABC NewsNBC News or Twitter on your Fire TV. If you’re more of a social media type, Facebook is an option too.

As long as you have a connected device or access to basic broadcast networks, you’ll have a way to watch Trump and Clinton potentially tear each other apart during the debate tonight at 9PM ET. This should be interesting.
