Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos will anchor the event, titled "The President and the People."
According to the network, the forum will provide uncommitted voters the opportunity to ask the president their questions on issues affecting Americans from the coronavirus pandemic and economic recovery to protests for racial justice and climate change.
It will air at 9 p.m. on 6abc.

Trump reacts to ruling on restrictions in Pa.
The president will be coming after a visit to Arizona, where he reacted to a federal court ruling that Governor Tom Wolf's pandemic restrictions were unconstitutional.
"We had a victory just now in Pennsylvania. I don't know if you heard about it," said Trump. "They were ordered to open it up- a federal judge- open it up and let the people get back to work."
U.S. District Judge William Stickman, appointed by President Trump, sided with plaintiffs calling Governor Wolf's orders in March initiated by the pandemic unconstitutional. Specifically referring to the restriction of large gatherings, the shuttering of non-life sustaining businesses and a stay at home order.
The suit was filed during the state's red phase when most businesses were closed, and Wolf has since eased many of those restrictions.
An attorney who represents the plaintiffs said that current restrictions, like limits to gathering size, can't be enforced.
The governor's office said it will appeal.
