Check out how to watch The Boat Race 2023 between Oxford and Cambridge on TV and live stream.
The Boat Race 2023 is back for another edition of the quintessentially British sporting tradition.
The event kicks off this weekend 194 years after the inaugural showdown between these two most historic rivals.
It has been a hotly contested battle since the turn of the century in the men’s race. Reigning champions Oxford have claimed 13 victories since 2000 to Cambridge’s nine, but the longest streak for either side is just three consecutive wins.
The women’s race has a very different complexion with Oxford’s dominance between 2000-2016 subsiding for a spell of Cambridge dominance. They have won the last five editions.
As always, the BBC will be on hand to steer you through the day’s festivities with live coverage on TV across both races.
