Days after former Vice President Joe Biden announced that he’s selected Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate in the 2020 presidential election, they’re going to make it official. The Democratic National Convention begins on Monday, August 17, ending on Thursday, August 20 with their party nomination. Before that, though, comes three days of speeches from prominent politicians and politically active celebrities, as well as performances from artists like Billie Eilish and John Legend — all of which you can watch via the official livestream above.

This year, the DNC, which was supposed to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has gone completely digital due to the COVID-19 crisis. Rather than delegates and party members gathering en mass, speeches and meetings will now happen online and via at-home broadcasts. Live coverage begins at 9:00pm ET every night, ending at 11:00pm ET, and there’s a variety of ways to watch the event.

All major news networks will be carrying coverage, if you prefer TV, and an app can be downloaded for Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire. Just search “Democratic National Convention” or “2020 DNC” on your device. Check out the DNC’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages for livestreams, or simply head to their website HERE. Below, you can find the full schedule for all four days of the Democratic National Convention, culminating in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris being officially named the 2020 Democratic nominees for President and Vice President.
