In case you hadn't noticed, it's a presidential election year in the United States.
The first general election debate is Monday night, between GOP candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, moderated by Lester Holt of NBC News.
SEE ALSO:What it means to have our political debates on social mediaFortunately, in 2016, the options of watching the debate are numerous, almost ubiquitous. It'll be harder to notwatch the debate than to watch it.
On television
The presidential debates are one of those events that get blanket coverage from networks, much like the political conventions.
While many networks, particularly the cable news networks, will feature hours of pre-debate coverage leading up to the event, the debate will actually start at 9 p.m. ET, last 90 minutes, and be available on a bevy of networks, both over the air and on cable. Those include:

C-SPAN (which will feature a continuous side-by-side view of the candidates)
C-SPAN 2

Univision (Spanish)
Telemundo (Spanish)
In Australia, Sky News will be airing C-SPAN's coverage of the debate. Sky News will also be airing the debate in the UK.
Streaming
Most of the above networks will offer streaming of the debate on their websites. Some, like Fox News, will also offer online streaming without requiring cable login. But other stations will require cable authentication.
However, social media platforms are stepping up to stream the debate, meaning viewers won't need a cable login and will be able to watch live even if mobile: Twitter (in partnership with Bloomberg), Facebook (in partnership with ABC), and YouTube (in partnership with the Washington Post, PBS, and Telemundo).
In addition, CBS News Live (also available as a Roku app) and Hulu will stream the debate, though you'll need a subscription to view on Hulu.
Radio
OK, this may seem a bit too old school but don't laugh. Plenty of people will be stuck driving (rush hour on the West Coast) when the debate begins. Plus, the different medium can sometimes lead to different interpretations of events (like the famed 1960 debate between Kennedy and Nixon).
NPR will be airing the debate and you can find your local NPR station here. Westwood One will also be carrying live radio coverage of the debate (you can find those stations here) as will Fox News Radio (find your local station here).
