How To Live Stream Tonight’s Republican Debates On CNBC

Here we go again: tonight at the Coors Events Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, the now-familiar faces of the Republican presidential race will gather together to face off on topics such as “job growth, taxes, technology, retirement and the health of our national economy.” Unlike last month’s debate, however, you won’t see the full lineup squaring off at the same time. CNBC, which is broadcasting the debates, will break them up into two matches. At 6PM, the “candidates who meet the minimum threshold of one percent in any one of the specified group of national polls” will debate first (those candidates include Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, George Pataki, and Lindsey Graham). At 8PM — or the main event — the frontrunners (yes, all ten of them) will get their chance at the podiums: Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, and John Kasich.

But the most important question you have? How are you going to watch it, of course!

If you still have cable, then the answer’s easy: switch over to CNBC. But if you’re a cord-cutter, you have a few options. All of them, however, require a cable subscription (which means: call your parents and ask for theirs, or see if you co-worker will lend you their parents’ for the night).

Apple TV users have it easy: CNBC has its own channel on the service, so you can watch it right there. CNBC will also be broadcasting it on their website if you’re watching it on your computer, and you can also download the CNBC app for your iPad, iPhone or Android devices. (You’ll need that annoying password for all of these options.)

The first debate airs live at 6PM ET, with the second airing at 8PM ET.
