"Candidates who opted into the board's generous public matching funds program and who meet certain criteria to make the debate stage are required to participate. At a moment when trust in government is eroded and many people don't know where to get trustworthy information about elections, the official New York City debates give New Yorkers the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates who are running to represent them, CFB Executive Director Paul Ryan said in an Aug. 26 statement."
"Where to watch the NYC mayoral debates The first debate in the closely-watched mayor's race will take place on Thursday, Oct. 16, in a program hosted by WNBC, Telemundo 47 New York (WNJU), and POLITICO. The second mayoral debate is set for the following week, on Wednesday, Oct. 22, and will be hosted by NY1, Spectrum Noticias, WNYC/Gothamist, and THE CITY."
"The contest includes Democratic nominee and Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, independent former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, independent incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, and independent attorney Jim Walden. The programs will mark a dramatic live rematch between Mamdani and Cuomo, who had several fiery exchanges during the two June primary debates. It will also be the first time Mayor Adams is on the same stage as his challengers this cycle, after skipping the Democratic primary."
The City Campaign Finance Board announced dates for televised debates for mayor, comptroller, and public advocate throughout October in partnership with major local broadcasters. Candidates who joined the public matching funds program and meet stage criteria are required to participate. The debates aim to provide New Yorkers with direct candidate access amid eroded trust in government and confusion over election information. The mayoral schedule includes a debate on Oct. 16 hosted by WNBC, Telemundo 47 New York, and POLITICO, and a follow-up debate on Oct. 22 hosted by NY1, Spectrum Noticias, WNYC/Gothamist, and THE CITY. Key participants include Mamdani, Cuomo, Adams, Sliwa, and Walden.
