Here’s What Time And Where You Can Watch President Trump’s State Of The Union Address Tonight

President Trump’s State of the Union Address will kick off tonight.

The speech will begin at 9 pm ET and will be broadcast on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, and MSNBC.

It will also be played via C-SPAN and the White House’s official YouTube channel.

The Guardian provided further details on where you can catch the State of the Union address:

Donald Trump will deliver the State of the Union in Washington on Tuesday, his second major address to Congress this term and the last before the 2026 midterms. It’s also the first time Trump will be confronted with the supreme court justices since they ruled his tariffs illegal.

Historically, the State of the Union is an opportunity for the president to lay out their agenda and talk about key policy objectives. While it’s not officially a campaign event, it’s likely Trump will use the speech as an opportunity to tout his accomplishments.

Trump will deliver his speech to Congress beginning at 9pm ET on Tuesday in Washington.

Major news networks are likely to broadcast Trump’s address live and carry coverage throughout the day. CBS will broadcast a live stream on its YouTube page, as will PBS.

The Guardian will have a live feed of the address to Congress and a team of reporters will be covering and fact-checking Trump’s speech.

Fox News provided an outline of what to expect from Trump’s speech:

President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address will put the economy front and center, pairing working-family guests with a data-driven case on affordability — while also making economic policy announcements, Fox News Digital learned.

Trump is slated to begin his speech at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Tuesday evening from the U.S. Capitol. The State of the Union is equal parts constitutional check-in between the president and Congress, as well as a political showcase that gives the president a national stage to claim wins and set the agenda for the coming year.

The 2026 address will be forward-looking but rooted in what the White House described as measurable progress on cost-of-living pressures, with Trump expected to list off statistics and data on the economy following the sky-high inflation rates of the Biden administration, while showcasing everyday Americans who have benefited from Trump policies, Fox News Digital learned.

“President Trump’s State of the Union Address will celebrate 250 glorious years of our nation’s independence and excellence, highlighting incredible stories of American heroes throughout the speech,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital ahead of the speech.

“In one year, President Trump has turned our country around from the brink of disaster, and he will rightly declare the State of Our Union is strong, prosperous and respected,” she continued. “The president will proudly tout his administration’s many record-breaking accomplishments, and also layout an ambitious agenda to continue bringing the American Dream back for working people.”

Touting Trump Accounts, tax cuts in the “big, beautiful bill,” lowering drug prices and working to ease the ability of American families to purchase a home are among Trump’s top orders of business, Fox News Digital learned. The president also is expected to make undisclosed economic policy announcements during the speech.

The economy is a top concern for voters as they prepare to vote for a new Congress in November, which follows Democrats’ 2025 winning campaign strategy around “affordability.”
