How to Stream ABC News’ Coverage of Joe Biden’s Inauguration Live
President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-Elect Kamala Harris are finally being sworn to office on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how to stream ABC News’ coverage of the inauguration, you’ve come to the right place.
On Wednesday, Jan. 20, ABC’s coverage will start at 7 a.m. ET a special edition of “Good Morning America.” The network will cover all of the major events throughout the day including the swearing-in, the visit to Arlington Cemetary, and the virtual “Parade Across America” in lieu of the usual in-person parade down Pennsylvania Avenue.
The inauguration ceremony itself will begin around 11 a.m. ET — but these things never start on time. ABC News will bring you the full ceremony, with commentary from the network’s stable of corespondents and pundits sprinkled in when appropriate.

At 8 p.m. ET, the primetime special “The Inauguration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr. – An ABC News Special” will air, followed by the multi-network “Celebrating America” special hosted by Tom Hanks from 8:30 – 10 p.m. ET, featuring performances from Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, Ant Clemons, Jon Bon Jovi and more. “World News Tonight with David Muir” and “Nightline” will also air special editions on Wednesday.
Chief anchor George Stephanopoulos will lead the day’s coverage with Muir, “Good Morning America” co-anchors Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan, and “ABC News Live Prime” anchor Linsey Davis. ABC News’ political team will include chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl, senior White House correspondent Cecilia Vega, senior Congressional correspondent Mary Bruce, “Nightline” co-anchor Byron Pitts, chief global affairs correspondent and “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz, senior national correspondent Terry Moran, and more.
To watch “Good Morning America” and regular ABC network coverage, you’ll need access to ABC on a regular television set, a subscription to YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, or Fubo — but cord cutters need not worry, because ABC’s streaming news channel ABC News Live will be streaming for free all day starting at 9 a.m. ET on the ABC News YouTube channel.
