The main event begins at 9 p.m. ET, moderated by Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace.
A special post-debate edition of The Kelly File will begin immediately following the debate at 11 p.m. with Charles Krauthammer and Frank Luntz, who will present live reaction from an Iowa focus group. At midnight, Hannity will feature live interviews and reactions from the candidates as well.
