Broadcast start times

For those who can't make it to the marathon in person, the running event will be broadcast both on television and online, beginning around the same time as the first runners depart.

Boston CBS affiliate WBZ-TV will air the marathon locally beginning at 9 a.m. Eastern, with pre-race coverage kicking off at 7 a.m. The marathon will also be broadcast nationally on the NBC Sports Network beginning at 8:30 a.m. Eastern. On Sunday, the network will air a preview show centering on the marathon, which will start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern.

Those hoping to watch online can also catch NBC's broadcast at nbcsports.com. CBS Boston will also livestream the event beginning at 9 a.m. However, due to streaming rights, the "elite runners" portion of the CBS livestream, which will run from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., will only be accessible to New England viewers.

In addition, the Boston Athletic Association will have their own livestream of the event, which will kick off at 9:15 a.m. Eastern.
