Charlie Kirk’s memorial service: Where to livestream, time, and more explored

TV screens across the country are swapping sitcoms and sports this weekend to watch Charlie Kirk's public memorial, with networks setting in motion the live coverage from State Farm Stadium.

According to reports, the memorial service is scheduled on Sunday, Sept. 21, at 11 a.m. (2 p.m. ET) in Glendale, Arizona. Multiple TV channels are set to cover the ceremony: CNN, NewsNation, Fox News, CBS News, and ABC News.

Charlie Kirk's memorial service will also be available for streaming via Hulu + Live TV, Sling, Fubo, and DirecTV.

President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and more officials are expected to attend and speak, alongside Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika.

Other figures expected to speak are Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Musical performances will include Brandon Lake and Chris Tomlin leading a worship session, as well as Lee Greenwood, who is set to perform "God Bless the USA."

Charlie Kirk was never a member of President Trump’s cabinet, but he was widely regarded as an ally of the administration and credited with helping mobilize young voters for the Republican Party.

Last week, the president also said he would award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously.

Kirk was fatally shot while speaking in front of 3,000 students at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Sept. 10.

Private confession: Accused Charlie Kirk shooter tells roommate of murder

Following his apprehension, private texts of the accused assailant, Tyler Robinson, with his roommate surfaced.

In a series of messages, obtained by the Utah County Officials and transcribed by CNN, the 22-year-old suspect told his roommate:

"I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you."

The roommate then asked Robinson why he did it, and he responded:

"I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven’t seen anything about them finding it."

Official court documents also reveal that Tyler Robinson has leaned more toward the left and become more politically active starting in 2024, according to his mother.

She added that his son became pro-gay and trans-rights oriented, and revealed that he:

"began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders."

Tyler Robinson faces seven charges, such as aggravated murder and witness tampering. Prosecutors also state they will seek capital punishment for the accused.
