Where to watch NCAA cross country championships: Time, TV schedule, channel, live stream for men's, women's races image

And they're off to the races. The 2025 NCAA cross country championships are here.

The men's and women's competitions will start on Saturday morning from Columbia, Mo. A total of 64 teams (32 men's, 32 women's) qualified to participate in this year's events via automatic and at-large bids.

Last year, BYU took home both team titles, marking the first time that a program completed a sweep since Colorado pulled off that feat in 2004. Graham Blanks of Harvard won the men's individual title, while Doris Lemngole of Alabama won the women's championship.

Here is everything you need to know about the NCAA cross country championships, including TV and streaming information for races.
