Read on and we'll show you how to watch London Marathon live streams from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE. London Marathon live streams: start time, TV channels The 2025 London Marathon takes place on Sunday, April 27. ► Time: 12:50 a.m. ET / 3:50 a.m. PT / 8:50 a.m. BST / 5:50 p.m. AEST ► U.K. — BBC iPlayer (FREE STREAM) ► U.S., CA, AU — FloTrack ► Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free Hassan is the most remarkable athlete in the field, which is no mean feat. The 5,000m and 10,000m Olympic gold medalist won the London Marathon on her marathon debut in 2023, despite having to stop twice, and her battle with Tigst Assefa could prove the highlight of the day. Not only was Assefa pipped to Olympic gold by Hassan last year by 3s — the tightest margin in the race's history — she came second to Peres Jepchirchir in London last year. Oh, and Hassan and Assefa are two of the three fastest women of all time. It takes a lot to upstage four-time winner Eliud Kipchoge, at his first London Marathon since 2020 no less, but reigning champion Alexander Mutiso Munyao and Olympic gold medalist Tamirat Tola are the men's favorites. They headline a field that also includes Sabastian Sawe, the fastest ever marathon debutant, New York City champion Abdi Nageeye and — inspired by Hassan — Olympic and world triathlon champion Alex Yee. You'll find the raceday schedule at the bottom of this page. Here's how to watch London Marathon 2025 from anywhere — including free streams.
