The 126th Boston Marathon airs live Monday at 8:30 a.m. ET on USA Network, Peacock, NBCSports.com/live and the NBC Sports app.
The world’s most historic marathon returns to its Patriots’ Day date for the first time since 2019 after the coronavirus pandemic caused a cancellation in 2020 and a postponement to October in 2021.
The women’s and men’s elite fields are arguably the best in race history, thanks in part to the other major spring marathon, London, moving to October for a third consecutive year.
