Miami will host the first official Democratic presidential primary debate ahead of the 2020 election, the Democratic National Committee announced on Thursday.

Half of the crowded field of roughly 15 major presidential candidates will appear during prime time on June 26, while the rest will be featured on June 27 to give all the contenders ample time to introduce themselves to the public and respond to questions, DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement.

NBC, MSNBC, and Telemundo will broadcast the program for free online and viewers will have the option to watch the proceedings in Spanish.

“Miami is a vibrant and dynamic city that reflects the values and diversity of the Democratic Party. I couldn’t imagine a better setting for our first debate,” Perez said. “Throughout every step of this process, we’ve focused on empowering the grassroots and ensuring that we hold the most transparent, inclusive, and fair primary in our party’s history. I’m thrilled that we’ll get the chance to showcase our terrific candidates to voters in Florida and across the nation.”

To take part in the debate, candidates “will need to either have at least 1 percent support in three qualifying polls, or provide evidence of at least 65,000 unique donors, with a minimum of 200 different donors in at least 20 states,” NBC said.

Real Clear Politics shows Colorado candidate John Hickenlooper with 1 percent support in four national polls conducted since March 14.

Democrats previously said that they will choose which candidates appear on which nights at random, not on poll rankings.

The announcement comes after the DNC awarded Milwaukee the 2020 Democratic National Convention, scheduled to take place July 13-16 next year. Miami and Houston were finalists to hold the nominating event.

Splitting the debate over two consecutive nights is just one of the changes 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have to deal with this cycle. To be able to appear on the debate stage, White House hopefuls have to meet polling and fundraising thresholds, including receiving contributions from 65,000 unique donors and a minimum of 200 unique donors per state.
