How to watch the Brooklyn Democratic debate

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton take part in the Democratic debate at Miami Dade College on March 9, 2016.

You didn't think primary debate season was over, did you?

After 20 debates in just over seven months, we haven't seen Republicans or Democrats on the debate stage since early March. The drought comes to an end on Thursday, with all eyes on Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in a Brooklyn face-off just days before the New York primary. This one comes after much back-and-forth over the scheduling.

Here's your viewer's guide to Thursday's action.

When does the debate start?

The action kicks off at 9 p.m. ET, and it's expected to last until 11 p.m. The debate will air on CNN and NY1; it can also be viewed online via live-streams on CNNgo and NY1.com/live.

Where will it be held?

The debate will take place at the Brooklyn Navy Yard's Duggal Greenhouse. Sanders grew up in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn; the borough also houses Clinton's national campaign headquarters, in Brooklyn Heights.

Who will moderate?

CNN's Wolf Blitzer is the moderator. He'll be joined by CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash and NY1 Inside City Hall host Errol Louis as questioners.

When is the next debate?

That's still up in the air — the Democratic National Committee approved a 10th debate for May, but there's no specific date or location set.
