How to watch the SNP leadership debate on Channel 4

THE SNP leadership candidates are set to face off in the second of four scheduled TV debates. 

After a fiery debate on STV on Tuesday night, the hopefuls to replace Nicola Sturgeon as leader of the SNP and the next first minister of Scotland will meet once again on Channel 4. 

Here's everything you need to know about the Channel 4 debate. 

What time does the debate start? 

The debate is due to start at 7pm on March 9 and last for half an hour. 

How can I watch it? 

It will be broadcast live on Channel 4 and also be available to watch afterwards on catch-up service All 4. 

How will the debate work? 

Unlike the STV debate where candidates were given the opportunity to give opening statements before cross-examining one another, the Channel 4 debate will be a straight head-to-head clash. It is also being broadcast across the entirety of the UK. 

When are the rest of the TV debates? 

Televised debates on the BBC and Sky News are scheduled to take place next week on March 13 (BBC) and March 14 (Sky). 

The remaining hustings events will also be broadcast via the SNP's social media channels.
