Dwars door Vlaanderen for women in the Women's WorldTour starting in 2026

From 2026 through 2028, the Flanders Classics calendar will continue to feature four one-day races at the highest level. And starting next year, this will apply to both men and women, as Dwars door Vlaanderen will appear for the first time on the UCI Women’s WorldTour calendar in 2026. In addition, the Amstel Gold Race will also retain its status for the next three seasons.

As part of the renewal of the UCI WorldTour licenses, Flanders Classics has received confirmation that its races will remain at the highest level for the next three years. Specifically, this concerns the Tour of Flanders, Omloop het Nieuwsblad, Gent-Wevelgem In Flanders Fields, and Dwars door Vlaanderen. Until now, only the men's edition of the latter held that status.
