Charlie Kirk's memorial service is expected to draw thousands of supporters, including Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, to Arizona Sunday.

Top U.S. officials and conservative influencers will attend, amid heightened political tension and sweeping security.

The service, "Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk," comes more than a week after Kirk was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, Sept. 10.

His remains were flown to his home city of Phoenix on Air Force Two. Arizona has become the epicenter of Kirk memorials.

Thousands attended a vigil at ASU's Desert Financial Arena on Sept. 15.

The Senate passed a resolution Thursday creating a "National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk" — slated for what would be Kirk's birthday, Oct. 14.

Here's what to know about his memorial service.

When and where is Charlie Kirk's memorial service?

State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, will host the service, per Turning Point USA.

Doors are expected to open at 8am local time (around 11am ET) on Sunday. The program begins at 11am local time.

Who is speaking at Charlie Kirk's service?

Turning Point USA shared a list of public figures expected to speak.

  • Erika Kirk, Turning Point USA CEO and widow of Kirk
  • President Trump
  • Vice President JD Vance
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio
  • White House chief of staff Susie Wiles
  • Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
  • Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard
  • White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller
  • Donald Trump Jr.
  • Tucker Carlson
  • Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will also attend, Axios' Kate Santaliz reports.

Who can attend Charlie Kirk's service?

Admission is currently first-come, first-served, per Turning Point USA. Overflow attendees will be directed to the nearby Desert Diamond Arena.

State Farm Stadium holds 63,400 people. The Glendale Police Department told ABC News that more than 100,000 may attend.

Parking lots open at 7am, with overnight parking prohibited. Registration is encouraged ahead of time.

What to expect at Kirk's service

DHS designated the memorial a Level 1 Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) event — the highest security rating typically used for the Super Bowl or Boston Marathon, per ABC News.

Glendale police told the Arizona Republic to expect long lines and recommend carpooling or rideshare.

Dress code is "Sunday best" with red, white, or blue attire encouraged, per Turning Point USA.

Prohibited items include weapons, explosives, outside food and drink, strollers, selfie sticks and bags.

Guests arriving with bags will not be allowed inside, Turning Point USA says. "You will be required to return the bag to your vehicle and rejoin the line from the end," the event's website reads.

How to stream Charlie Kirk's service

Kirk's memorial will be livestreamed on his Rumble account, the service's website says.

Fox News will offer special programming starting at 6am ET on Fox News Channel.

ABC News Live plans to livestream Kirk's service across all programs and platforms.

MSNBC will cover Kirk's funeral with reporters and correspondents providing insight throughout the day.
