The address, which is technically [not a “State of the Union”](http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/27/politics/donald-trump-address-not-state-of-the-union/) because he has not been in office for a full year, is set to kick off at 9 p.m. E.T. The [White House](https://www.youtube.com/whitehouse) will stream the speech live, as will C-SPAN and [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/). You can also watch the speech here on [Time.com](http://time.com/4684397/donald-trump-congress-address-watch-online/) and [on TIME’s Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/time). The President will preview his speech in an interview with [Fox News](http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/02/23/fox-friends-president-trump-interview-tuesday-feb-28) that will air on Tuesday morning. The White House has said the speech will be an optimistic outline of the President’s agenda, highlighting what he’s already done in office and previewing his first [budget proposal](http://time.com/4683978/donald-trump-defense-budget-increase/?xid=homepage). Trump has had a [busy first month](http://time.com/4672974/donald-trump-white-house-chaos/) in office. He has released a flurry of executive orders, including a ban on travel to the U.S. from [seven majority-Muslim countries](http://time.com/4652552/president-trump-is-suspending-a-refugee-program-and-banning-visas-from-7-countries/) that is currently tied up in court, and another toughening immigration enforcement policies. The President also faced the [resignation of his National Security Advisor Michael Flynn](http://time.com/4670930/white-house-president-trump-asked-for-flynns-resignation/) and had a nominee for his Cabinet drop out of consideration. Trump will face some [light trolling](http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/trump-congress-address-democrats-235363) from Democratic members of Congress during the address, some of whom have invited immigrants, refugees and others to join them in the chamber. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4684210/trump-congress-address-how-to-watch-online/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4684210/trump-congress-address-how-to-watch-online/"},"headline":"How to Watch President Trump's First Address to Congress Online","datePublished":"2017-02-28T10:00:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T03:33:07.969Z","description":"It will be streaming in multiple places, including on Time.com","url":"https://time.com/4684210/trump-congress-address-how-to-watch-online/","keywords":["Donald Trump","Congress","White House","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5f8893f58e15f3b2/6988bbf5f887dc1227e9936c/donald-trump-whca.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5f8893f58e15f3b2/6988bbf5f887dc1227e9936c/donald-trump-whca.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President Donald Trump Meets With Economic Advisors","caption":"President Donald Trump Meets With Economic Advisors","creditText":"Olivier Douliery-Pool/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4684210/trump-congress-address-how-to-watch-online/","name":"How to Watch President Trump's First Address to Congress Online"}}]}] ```
