How to watch London Marathon 2025: Channel, live stream, start time, route, prize money, past winners and more

One of the marquee events on the running calendar, the 2025 London Marathon will take place on Sunday, April 27.

The course, which traditionally takes runners from Greenwich to The Mall, provides a wonderful look at London in all its glory - from the famous Tower Bridge to the iconic silhouettes of Big Ben and the London Eye.

The real excitement this year? The return of marathon superstar Eliud Kipchoge. The four-time champion is back and hungry for more success and everything will be focused on if the Kenyan legend can add to his remarkable story. 

The women's race also features a star-studded lineup, with three of the fastest women in history -- Olympic champion Sifan Hassan, world record holder Ruth Chepngetich and Tigst Assefa -- set to compete.

The Sporting News has all the details on how to watch the 2025 London Marathon.
