On Monday night, the very first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will take place. Neither Gary Johnson nor Jill Stein made the cut, but supporters are hoping they still have time to get the required 15 percent polling results to make it into the second or third debates. What are the dates for the second and third debates?

Here’s what you need to know.

The first debate is Monday, September 26 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. Both Trump and Clinton have complained that they’re worried the debates might be rigged somehow or biased against each of them, but they’re still going to attend for what may be one of the highest-rated TV events of the year.

The second debate will take place less than two weeks later, on Sunday, October 9 at Washington University in St. Louis. This one will be moderated by Anderson Cooper of CNN and anchored by Martha Raddatz of ABC News. Trump had previously shared concern about the debates competing with Sunday night and Monday night football and had thought the Commission on Presidential Debates should consider moving the date.

The third debate will take place on Wednesday, October 19 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Chris Wallace of Fox News will moderate the third debate.

In addition to these two presidential debates, there will also be a vice presidential debate. This one will take place on Tuesday, October 4 at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia.

All of the debates will be broadcast live on all major news networks and livestreamed online.
