Here Are All the TV Marathons Airing Memorial Day Weekend 2023

Memorial Day is an occasion for remembering and honoring the members of the U.S. armed forces who sacrificed their lives during service. For those who are looking to watch something on-message during the extended holiday weekend, there are some great options this year on TV and streaming.

Max, for example, has an array of award-winning titles to stream, including HBO's Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Meanwhile, Pluto TV has an entire channel on its free streaming service dedicated to military history, with films in store for the weekend such as Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of WWII, Boys of H Company and Navy Heroes of Normandy, just to name a few.

There are also quite a few linear television stations that are hosting relevant marathons, such as History Channel's The World Wars showcase and The Smithsonian Channel's The Pacific War in Color.

And, if you're just looking for something relaxing to help you enjoy the extra time off this holiday weekend, there are plenty of options for that, too. 

Below is a list of all the major TV and movie marathons (running four hours or more) happening this Memorial Day weekend.
