Everything you need to know about the next Democratic debate (the debate is tomorrow)

When is the next Democratic presidential debate?
The next debate is Saturday, live from Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley will return to a familiar weekend forum, this time hosted hosted by ABC News, the New Hampshire Democratic Party and the Union Leader. WMUR—a popular local TV station—was booted from the sponsorship list after a labor dispute between employees and ownership.

The location is a staple of American politics: The school’s Institute of Politics regularly hosts presidential candidates, and it plans to host a Republican debate in February. When bells rang out during a rally Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan held on campus in 2012, Romney joked that “only a Catholic guy would be able to get the bells to toll just at the right time at Saint Anselm's.” John F. Kennedy—then a senator—gave one of his most famous speeches at the school.

The location is also friendly to the strongest underdog candidate, Bernie Sanders, who leads Clinton in an aggregate of recent state polling.

What time is the debate and how will it be formatted?
The debate starts at 8 p.m. EST. The last debate was moderated so succinctly by CBS News that it ended early. An ABC spokesperson told POLITICO that no info on formatting will be released ahead of the debate.
