Nine Republican presidential candidates vying for the party’s nomination will attend their final debate of the year in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.

Viewers can tune in to CNN at 8:30 pm E.T. for the primetime debate. Cord cutters will be able to watch a live stream on CNN.com or on mobile apps without logging in, according to CNN. The Salem Radio Network will also air the debate on its radio stations across the country.

The main event will include frontrunner Donald Trump, flanked by runner-up Ted Cruz to his left and Ben Carson to his right. Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, John Kasich and Rand Paul will also participate. Wolf Blitzer will moderate.

Before the nine top candidates spar, CNN will host an “undercard” debate starting at 6:00 pm E.T. for four candidates: Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Lindsey Graham, and George Pataki.

The cable news network determined debate invitations and podium order by the candidates’ performance in polls averaged through November and December.
