BBC News is on hand with a wealth of coverage throughout the US election night and beyond.

The latest news, analysis and results will be available from 22:00 GMT (17:00 EST) on Tuesday, 5 November, across all platforms and whether you are in the UK or overseas.

Around the world, you’ll be able to follow all the developments in the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on the BBC News website and app.

A round-the-clock live page with a live stream is at the heart of our offer. It will feature the expertise of our North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher, and input from BBC News reporters stationed in battleground states around the US.

Readers in the UK can sign up here for Anthony’s US Election Unspun newsletter, and readers outside the UK can sign up here.

Make sure also to keep checking our 2024 US election page, which is being continually updated with detailed analysis and explainers of the latest events.

Special programming from Washington gets under way on the BBC News Channel at 22:40 GMT (17:40 EST), before the first polls close on the US east coast. Viewers in the UK will also be able to watch on BBC One, or on BBC iPlayer.

The programme will be anchored by Caitríona Perry and Sumi Somaskanda – who’ll be joined by US special correspondent Katty Kay and others. You’ll also hear from North America editor Sarah Smith and senior North America correspondent Gary O’Donoghue, who are joining the presidential candidates at their respective HQs.

BBC correspondents around the world will also have their say on events – and the BBC Verify team are on hand to fact-check claims that emerge during the night.

UK viewers will see BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay join the Washington results broadcast at 06:00 GMT (01:00 EST). Special programming continues until 10:00 GMT (05:00 EST) on Wednesday.

At 06:00 GMT (01:00 EDT), UK listeners can choose between the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, presented by Justin Webb from Washington, or Breakfast on BBC Radio 5 Live. World Service listeners will hear Newsday at that time.

On BBC Sounds, global audiences can listen to continuous US election coverage as the results come in.

Our flagship US news podcast Americast will record special episodes, not just analysing events as they unfold throughout the night, but also in the days after.

The Global News Podcast will release a special bonus episode as the results are called in. And the Global Story will tell the story of the night, follow the results and what they mean for the world. Find all the US news and politics podcasts in the BBC Sounds US Election collection.
