The memorial service for Charlie Kirk will commence on Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and BlazeTV will be there.
The event is titled “Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk,” and will begin at 11 a.m. local time, which is 2 p.m. ET.
‘I will never, ever have the words to describe the loss that I feel in my heart. I honestly have no idea what any of this means. I know that God does, but I don’t.’
The 31-year-old conservative activist was struck down by an assassin’s bullet while debating students at his national campus tour on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University.
President Donald Trump will speak at the memorial, along with Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, and Vice President JD Vance.
Other speakers include White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
BlazeTV will be covering the memorial service with video and attendee interviews on BlazeTV (24/7), as well as other platforms including Pluto, Facebook, X, and YouTube.
Also scheduled are Christian worship singers including Chris Tomlin, Brandon Lake, Phil Wickham, Kari Jobe Carnes, and Cody Carnes.

“This event is first come, first served based on stadium capacity,” read a TPUSA statement. “Please be advised that enhanced security measures are in place, which may result in longer wait times than usual.”
State Farm Stadium is the home of the Arizona Cardinals football team and usually accommodates 63,400 attendees, but it can be expanded to 73,000. Law enforcement said that no drones are allowed in the area — if they see any drones, they will be taken out.
Erika Kirk gave her first public comments on Sept. 12, two days after the death of her husband.
“My husband laid down his life for me, for our nation, for our children,” she said tearfully.
“I will never, ever have the words to describe the loss that I feel in my heart. I honestly have no idea what any of this means. I know that God does, but I don’t.”
