The Boat Race is one of the truly great British sporting institutions that pits two of the finest universities in the land against one another in a heated contest on the Thames.<\/p>\n
Oxford and Cambridge have been battling for the prestige of winning The Boat Race ever since the inaugural edition in 1829.<\/p>\n
Since then, it has expanded to include a women\u2019s race, which was first enjoyed in 1927, and captures a mass audience on the banks of the river and at home on TV every year.<\/p>\n
The 2022 edition of the esteemed showdown is almost here and we\u2019ve got all the details you need to enjoy every moment.<\/p>\n
RadioTimes.com<\/a> has rounded up everything you need to know to watch The Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge on TV and live stream in the UK.<\/p> The event takes place on\u00a0Sunday 3rd April 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The race was cancelled in 2020 due to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, but both teams returned last year under restrictions and this year will be free to race as usual.<\/p>\n Each race will last around the 20-minute mark, beginning at approximately the following times:<\/p>\n The 76th Women\u2019s Boat Race: 2:23pm<\/strong><\/p>\n The 167th Men\u2019s Boat Race: 3:23pm<\/strong><\/p>\n The whole event will be broadcast live on BBC One with coverage starting at 1:50pm and will run until 4:20pm.<\/p>\n You will also be able to live stream the races via the BBC Sport website, BBC iPlayer and the official Boat Race YouTube channel.<\/p>\n The Boat Race, which first took place back in 1829, will be held on the traditional stretch of the River Thames between Putney and Mortlake in London in 2022.<\/p>\n Due to the 2021 event being held behind closed doors and safety concerns surrounding Hammersmith Bridge, the event was moved to River Great Ouse in Ely, Cambridgeshire.<\/p>\n It was only the second time Ely has hosted the event, the first time coming during an unofficial duel between the sides during the second World War.<\/p>\n The event is timed so that the race coincides with the fastest possible current.<\/p>\n Oxford traditionally wear dark blue outfits, while Cambridge rowers will don light blue.<\/p>\n Oxford University Boat Club have won the coveted title 80 times but their Cambridge counterparts have edged in front with a total of 85 wins.<\/p>\n The Oxford University Women\u2019s Boat Club has won just 30 times, in contrast to Cambridge\u2019s 45 wins, since the Women\u2019s race was first introduced back in 1972.<\/p>\n Cambridge sealed a double victory in 2021 as they triumphed in both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s races.<\/p>\n The results mean they have now enjoyed a three-race winning streak in the men\u2019s race and have lost just once since 2015.<\/p>\n In the women\u2019s race, Cambridge have now won the last four consecutive showdowns.
