One of the most highly anticipated events of the British sports calendar, the University Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge, will be held on Sunday, April 13.
Dating back to 1829, The Boat Race is a historic rowing competition between the UK’s two premier universities. It became an annual fixture in 1856 and has taken place nearly every year since. The race sees the universities’ eight-person crews battle it out along a four-mile stretch of the River Thames in south London.
While the women’s race has been held annually since 1964, it was only in 2015 that it joined the men’s event on the same day and course.
Last year, Cambridge won the men’s race for a second consecutive year in a row, while their women’s side continued their dominance by winning the race for the seventh successive year.
It’s a huge weekend in British rowing, and The Sporting News has you covered to catch all the action, either live or on catch-up via your TV or live streaming service.
