Rivalled only by Paris-Roubaix, the Tour of Flanders is among the biggest one-day races and is one of the most coveted titles in the men's and women's WorldTour.
The men's race is likely to be a dramatic showdown between the two major race favourites, Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu van der Poel. Meanwhile, in the women's race, Lotte Kopecky and Elisa Longo Borgini are among the major contenders in the race.
Dwars Door Vlaanderen has set the scene for an unpredictable day, though, as Neilson Powless' sprint victory against Wout van Aert and two Visma-Lease a Bike proved that even the strongest race favourites can be victims of fate.
The Ronde van Vlaanderen's infamous 268.9km route makes for a long day of racing for the men, but with cobbled bergs such as the Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg and the Koppenberg peppered along its route, there is action throughout the race. The shorter 168.8km women's route may make for less broadcast but still packs the same star climbs.
There are broadcast options in the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia, as well as free live streaming options, so read on for all the details on how to watch the Tour of Flanders online, on TV, and from anywhere.

How to watch the Tour of Flanders from anywhere
If you're outside your usual country when the Tour of Flanders is on, you might think you can’t watch the race due to the geo-restrictions most streaming platforms impose. But a VPN is a simple and safe way around this.
A Virtual Private Network is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world. Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world. What's more, it helps with playback speeds and is a huge boost for your general internet security.
There are loads of great VPN options out there, but our colleagues at TechRadar say NordVPN is the best overall for its streaming capabilities, security features, and price.
