Men’s In Flanders Fields 2026 takes place on Sunday 29th March. The race begins in Middelkerke this year, with the official start scheduled for 11:00 local time and the finish expected at around 16:21 local time in Wevelgem. For UK viewers, that translates to a 10:00 start and an expected finish at around 15:21.
In the UK, live coverage is available on TNT Sports and HBO Max. TNT Sports is due to begin its live television coverage from 13:15 UK time on TNT Sports 3, with the same race window also available through HBO Max.
That means the race itself will already have been underway for more than three hours by the time UK television coverage begins. In a race like In Flanders Fields, that is significant because the early phase through De Moeren can already shape the day before the climbs and Plugstreets take over the story later on.
The route remains one of the more tactically open races of the Flemish spring. After the early run across the exposed roads around De Moeren, the race heads into Heuvelland, where the Monteberg, Baneberg, Scherpenberg and Kemmelberg all feature before the finish in Wevelgem. That balance between wind exposure, terrain and timing is why this race can end in very different ways from year to year.
