How to watch Gent-Wevelgem 2025: Everything you need to live stream the Flemish Classic

The biggest week of Belgian cycling really kicks off with Gent-Wevelgem on Sunday 30 March, with the elite men and women once again tackling the cobbles of Flanders on a brutal day.

Starting in Ypres and finishing in the town of Wevelgem, the cobbled route is west of most of the Tour of Flanders route, but there are famous sectors and climbs like the Kemmelberg and the Baneberg.

This year's Gent-Wevelgem is the 12th for women, and the 87th for men, and is organised by Flanders Classics, the same company as the Tour of Flanders. Both are WorldTour events, with star male riders including Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) and Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek). Meanwhile, Lotte Kopecky and Lorena Wiebes (both SD Worx-Protime), Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) and Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) will be present in the women's race.

Below, Cycling Weekly has compiled everything you need to know about broadcasters and live streams, so you can watch Gent-Wevelgem wherever you are in the world.
