Gent-Wevelgem Women 2026 takes place on Sunday 29th March, although the race now sits under the broader In Flanders Fields branding. The women’s race has a 14:10 local neutral start, an official start at 14:30 local time, and an expected finish at around 17:45 local time. For UK viewers, that means a 13:10 neutral start, a 13:30 official start, and an expected finish at around 16:45.
In the UK, live coverage is available through TNT Sports and HBO Max. TNT Sports is scheduled to begin its television coverage at 15:45 UK time, while HBO Max has a longer listed window from 15:00 to 17:30 UK time. That makes the stream the better option if you want more than just the closing phase.
There is a good reason to tune in early. Gent-Wevelgem Women is rarely a race that only comes alive in the final kilometres. The Plugstreets, the repeated climbs and the Kemmelberg often shape the outcome well before the finish, so earlier coverage gives a far better sense of how the race is actually won.
If you want more context around the race itself, the Beginner’s guide to In Flanders Fields 2026, the In Flanders Fields Women 2026 route guide, and the 2026 In Flanders Fields Women contenders preview all help frame what to expect from one of the most tactically interesting races of the Flemish spring.
