More information on the debate, including the rules, location, staging and format, will be revealed closer to the date.

The ABC News qualifications for debate include receiving at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet ABC's standards for reporting, appearing on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to the eligibility deadline, and agreeing to accept the rules and format of the debate.

ABC News' offices previously hosted two debates in 1960 between then-Vice President Richard Nixon and then-Sen. John F. Kennedy. The first was a split-screen televised debate on Oct. 13, 1960, filmed at ABC News' New York and Los Angeles studios. Another debate between Kennedy and Nixon took place at ABC News' New York studios on Oct. 21, 1960.
