The hour-long debate, hosted by ITV, will be moderated by Julie Etchingham and will see the Prime Minister and the Labour leader cross-examine each other before taking questions in front of a studio audience.
The debate will be shown on STV and STV Player on Tuesday, June 4 at 9pm.
It comes ahead of the polling day on July 4, the first summer general election since June 2017.
Michael Jermey, ITV’s director of news and current affairs, said: “Millions of viewers value the election debates.
“They provide a chance to see and hear the party leaders set out their pitch to the country, debate directly with each other and take questions from voters.
