How to follow the US election on the BBC

Special coverage from Washington starts at 22:00 GMT (17:00 EST) with Ros Atkins and Nuala McGovern.

Listeners in the UK will be able to tune in on BBC Radio 4 or BBC Radio 5 Live. Listeners outside the UK can hear the same broadcast on the BBC World Service.

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.
