The Democratic primary presidential debate will take place Wednesday at 9 p.m. at Tyler Perry's sprawling studios. The 10 candidates slated to travel to the Peach State for the fifth debate of the primary season will debate at the Oprah Winfrey sound stage.
You can tune in using this live stream from MSNBC:
Local leaders, like Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms say it’s a good chance for the city to shine.
The debate, hosted by MSNBC and The Washington Post, will be moderated by an all-female lineup: Rachel Maddow, Andrea Mitchell, Kristen Welker and Ashley Parker. It will bring not only the major candidates to town, but also a slew of media attention and visitors.
And even though Perry's studios are massive, actually snagging a ticket to attend the high-profile event will be tough.
According to The Washington Post, the Democratic National Committee will work with the state party to allocate tickets.
"The DNC will work with the Georgia Democratic Party and a variety of local organizations, including unions, local Democratic organizations and women's rights organizations, to invite guests to the debate," according to the newspaper. "Each campaign will also be allocated an equal number of tickets."
But there will still be a number of ways to engage with the debate.
With the major candidates in town, there will be several viewing parties happening around the city. Whether you're looking to host a party or just want to tune in, here's what you need to know.
The good news for cord cutters is that in June, the Democratic National Committee asked all networks hosting debates to also make them available online.
"We have asked all of our potential partners to stream the debate for free, and they have agreed,” a DNC spokeswoman told CNN in June.
