After three days of high-wattage opening acts, Kamala Harris will take the stage Thursday at the Democratic National Convention to address delegates and voters.

Recommended Video

The Democratic nominee is center stage tonight and will make her case why America should vote for her instead of Donald Trump this November. Her appearance follows running mate Tim Walz’s speech on Wednesday, which helped introduce him to the country.

Coverage of the convention will be widespread, but here’s what you need to know if you plan on watching.

What time will Kamala Harris address delegates at the 2024 Democratic National Convention?

Harris is the headliner, so she’ll be last to take the stage. The exact time is a bit harder to pinpoint, though, as it’s reliant on how much over their allotted time the speakers and performers run before her.

Who else will be speaking at the 2024 DNC Thursday?

Here’s who you can expect on Thursday …

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper

Civil rights leader Al Sharpton

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.

Pink also will perform.

Which TV channels are airing the 2024 DNC?

Three of the major broadcast networks, along with PBS, are scheduled to carry parts of the convention. Fox, however, will only do so in select markets, as it turns over programming to its local affiliates at 10 p.m. local time. Here’s how things will shake out with the other channels:

CBS – Stations will have live coverage starting at 9:00 p.m. ET.

NBC – Stations will broadcast from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.

ABC – Coverage will run from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.

PBS – Coverage will run from 8:00 p.m. through 11:00 p.m.

Fox News – Coverage will air during its regular primetime lineup of shows. A one-hour special will air at 10:00 p.m.

CNN – The network plans live coverage starting at 8:00 p.m.

MSNBC – The network will air coverage from 8:00 p.m. to midnight.

Are any channels airing the entire DNC uninterrupted?

CSPAN is the place for political junkies to catch all the action, with uninterrupted coverage all four days.

Can I stream the Democratic National Convention live online if I don’t have a cable subscription?

You can. The DNC will livestream the convention on a number of platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Twitter/X. Prefer another option? You’ve got a panoply of choices.

Disney+

Disney’s bundle of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $15 per month for all three combined (or $25 per month for no ads on Hulu).

Including Live TV in the bundle bumps the price to $77 per month ($90 with no ads).

Hulu with Live TV

The free trial on this service is no longer offered, as well. It will now cost you $77 per month.

YouTubeTV

After up to a two-week trial, you can expect monthly charges of $73.

Sling TV

Dish Network’s Sling lower-tiered “Orange” plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial has disappeared, unfortunately.

DirecTV Stream

Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $80 per month and up after the free trial option.

Fubo TV

This sports-focused cord-cutting service carries broadcast and news networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $80 and up, depending on the channels you choose.

The Fortune 500 Innovation Forum will convene Fortune 500 executives, U.S. policy officials, top founders, and thought leaders to help define what’s next for the American economy, Nov. 16-17 in Detroit. Apply here.
