ABC will air a special commemorative program on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, marking 25 years since the September 11 terrorist attacks. Hosted by Michael Strahan, the two-hour broadcast titled “9/11: United We Stand — 25 Years Later” will premiere at 9 p.m. ET and examine how various cultural spheres responded to the tragedy in its aftermath.
The program will feature notable personalities including Derek Jeter and Pete Davidson, among others, discussing how sports, music, Broadway, and comedy provided solace and unity during one of America’s most difficult periods. The special aims to explore the ways these industries became sources of hope and connection for the nation.
Viewers without cable access have multiple options for watching the broadcast for free. DirecTV, Fubo, and Hulu + Live TV each offer five-day, five-day, and three-day free trials respectively, all providing access to ABC. Alternatively, Sling allows viewers to purchase a one-day pass for $4.99 without requiring a subscription commitment. Those who prefer to wait can stream the special on Hulu the following day.
