Republican presidential candidates will take the stage tonight for the ninth presidential debate. This will be the first debate without either Chris Christie or Carly Fiorina, both of whom suspended their campaigns after performing poorly in the New Hampshire primary.

Participants include Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

The debate is scheduled to take place in Greenville, South Carolina, and will be hosted by CBS. It will be moderated by “Face the Nation” anchor John Dickerson, CBS News White House correspondent Major Garrett, and The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel. Coverage is slated to begin at 12 p.m. ET (9 a.m. PT) on CBSN, with the actual debate set to start at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT).

Here are all the different ways to tune in:

• Your local CBS station will broadcast the event live. That’s channel 2 in New York City and channel 5 in San Francisco.
• The network will be providing a live stream of the debate for free on its website.
• It will also be streamed live on the CBSN app for Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, Xbox One and Amazon Fire TV.
