How to watch the U.S. presidential debate in the UK
The time has come for presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to debate face to face for the first time at Hofstra University, in Hempstead, New York.
Experts estimate the 90-minute face-off could be watched by as many as 100 million viewers, surpassing the 80 million who watched Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Monday's debate, which is divided into six 15-minute sections, is set for 9 p.m. ET (2-3:30 a.m. Tuesday UK time) and will be moderated by NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt.
