The news networks will have coverage of Pope Francis as he visits Washington, D.C., but you can follow along online or watch live streaming.

For the many fans of Pope Francis who didn’t get a ticket to see him celebrate Mass in Washington, D.C., or just don’t feel up to fighting the crowds, there are several ways to watch the pontiff’s visit.

Pope Francis flies into Joint Air Base Andrews Tuesday afternoon. His schedule includes a visit with President Obama, speech to both houses of Congress, canonization of a saint and more. He leaves the region Thursday for stops in Philadelphia and New York.
