How to stream the Trump Harris debate in Australia
Here's how to watch Donald Trump take on Kamala Harris in their first US presidential debate in Australia.
Update: The debate has now finished, but you can rewatch ABC's full coverage below.
In just a few hours' time, US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will finally meet for the first time in a televised debate.
This follows the shock departure of US President Joe Biden as the presumptive nominee for the Democrats.
It is expected to be a bruising clash of wits, with both candidates trading increasingly personal barbs on the campaign trail.
If you're keen to watch the action live from Australia, you're in luck - the entire debate will be streamed for free on ABC's YouTube channel and the ABC iView app.
The debate kicks off at 11am AEST.

Trump vs Harris debate rules
- The debate will go for 90 minutes, with two commercial breaks.
- Candidates will have two minutes to answer each question, with a two-minute rebuttal, and an extra minute for a follow-up, clarification, or response.
- There will be no audience. (While this makes for less exciting television, it also eliminates partisan cheering and applause on both sides.)
- No props are allowed.
- No pre-written notes are allowed, but candidates will be given a pen and paper.
- Microphones will be muted except for when candidates are asked to speak.
- There will be no opening statements. The candidates will be asked to give two-minute closing statements. (Trump won the coin toss and will go last.)
The debate will be moderated by the American Broadcasting Company's Linsey Davis and David Muir.
It is looking increasingly likely that this will be the only debate Harris and Trump participate in before Americans head to the polls on November 5, 2024.
A vice-presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance is slated for October 1.
