What Time is the Third Presidential Debate?

The third presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney is scheduled for 9 p.m. EST on Monday, Oct. 22.

After President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney spent much of the second presidential debate last week slinging rhetorical stones and arrows at each other, the pair of presidential hopefuls will be coming together for a much more traditionally-structured third debate.

The third presidential debate between Obama and Romney is set for 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CST on Monday, Oct. 22. 

According to the Commission on Presidential Debates, "The format for the debate will be identical to the first presidential debate and will focus on foreign policy."
