President Joe Biden will deliver his State on the Union address on Thursday, March 7. The address will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).

The traditional annual update to Congress – and the nation – has additional significance coming in the middle of a presidential election and on the heels of Super Tuesday.

Biden, 81, is expected to use the address to combat criticisms of his age and frame the race as a stark choice between himself and the Republican front runner Donald Trump.
