Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said the 90-minute discussion will also include the records of President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
The September 29 debate at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, set to begin at 9:00 pm ET (0100 GMT), is the first of 3 between Trump and Biden.
Wallace said the 6 main topics, which also include the integrity of the election, will be tackled in 6 15-minute segments.
The topics could change subject to “news developments,” Wallace added.
He said they were selected and announced in advance “in order to encourage deep discussion of the leading issues facing the country.”
Billionaire Tom Steyer, who unsuccessfully challenged Biden for the Democratic nomination, complained that climate change was not among the topics.
“This is unacceptable – the climate crisis cannot be ignored,” he tweeted.
