How to watch The Boat Race 2025: TV channel and live stream for Oxford vs Cambridge today
One of the biggest and oldest rivalries in British sport takes centre stage once again on the River Thames
The Boat Race takes place this afternoon as fierce rivals Cambridge and Oxford once again prepare to do battle on the River Thames.
It’s one of the oldest annual events on the British sporting calendar as the country’s two most prestigious universities compete for rowing bragging rights on a 4.2-mile course in front of a huge crowd of over 200,000 people in London and wider international television audience that typically stretches into the millions.
An eligibility row has dominated the build-up to the latest edition of the event that dates all the way back to 1829, as well as renewed health concerns over the water quality after high levels of E. coli were also detected last year.
