University Boat Race – Oxford vs Cambridge: TV channel, live stream, start time

THE BOAT Race is taking place in front of spectators in London RIGHT NOW.

Last year the race was held behind closed doors on the remote River Great Ouse at Ely, due to Covid restrictions and safety issues with Hammersmith Bridge.
