Gent-Wevelgem Women 2026, now run under the In Flanders Fields name, takes place on Sunday 29th March. For viewers in the UK, the race is available on TNT Sports and HBO Max. TNT Sports’ listings show live coverage of the women’s race beginning at 3:45pm UK time. That gives it a very manageable Sunday afternoon slot for British viewers.
The race may now carry a different official name, but it still sits in the same important place on the Women’s WorldTour spring calendar. For readers who want the broader context around the race itself, ProCyclingUK’s beginner’s guide to In Flanders Fields 2026 is the natural starting point, and it also pairs well with the wider spring Classics coverage already on the site.
Where can you watch Gent-Wevelgem Women 2026 in the UK?
The UK rights sit with TNT Sports on television and HBO Max for streaming. Warner Bros. Discovery has moved TNT Sports streaming in the UK and Ireland from Discovery+ to HBO Max, so HBO Max is now the main streaming home for races like this.
If you are following the wider Flemish block on ProCyclingUK, this guide also links naturally with the Men’s In Flanders Fields 2026 route guide, the Men’s In Flanders Fields 2026 contenders preview, and the In Flanders Fields 2026 team-by-team guide.
What time does Gent-Wevelgem Women 2026 start?
TNT Sports’ schedule says UK coverage starts at 3:45pm. That should take viewers into the decisive later phase of the race rather than full flag-to-line coverage.
The women’s race distance is listed at 135km, with the familiar mix of Plugstreets, short climbs and the run towards Wevelgem. That usually means the most important viewing window comes after the final Kemmelberg, when the remaining contenders either try to go clear or set up a reduced sprint.
Why is this race worth watching?
Even if many fans will still search for Gent-Wevelgem Women, the event is now officially In Flanders Fields Women. The name has changed, but the race identity remains recognisable. The women’s event still combines exposed roads, the Plugstreets and the Kemmelberg with a finish that leaves more than one likely outcome.
That is what makes it such a strong race to watch. It is not a pure bunch sprint, but it is not always selective enough to guarantee a solo winner either. For newer fans, it is one of the clearest examples of a northern Classic where terrain, wind and timing all matter. For more background around the route and race character, ProCyclingUK’s beginner’s guide to In Flanders Fields 2026 remains the best companion read.
