This Friday, April 17, 2026, the Flèche Brabançonne returns as one of the classics. The route will be exactly the same as last year’s.

So that’s (more or less) it for the cobblestones: on the Flèche Brabançonne, it’s mainly the hills that are on the agenda ... ahead of Sunday’s Amstel Gold Race, and following the Tour of Limburg, which Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) won this Wednesday.

In this article, you’ll find all the details of the 2026 Flèche Brabançonne route, on an OpenStreetMap map that can also be downloaded into Google Earth, the route profile, the schedule, and the list of riders competing in this race.

The map of the 2026 Flèche Brabançonne is even better in the app!

Below you’ll find the race map, of course, but if you really want to dive into this map… it’s even better in the velowire app! And as usual, it was available there before being published here! (starting Tuesday evening)

Whether you’re heading to the event—whether as part of one of the participating teams, as part of the organization or one of its partners, or simply as a cycling enthusiast lining the route—or if you just want to explore the 2026 Flèche Brabançonne map in a different way, velowire invites you to discover it in the Maps section of the velowire app for a more convenient experience. That way, you’ll always have it with you, and as a little bonus: you can view it in full-screen mode, and if you’re traveling to the event, display your location on the map and move the map along with you, making it easier than ever to get there!

So don’t wait any longer and join the hundreds of users of the app by downloading the velowire app from the app stores:

The route of the 2026 Flèche Brabançonne on an OpenStreetMap

After the start in Beersel, the riders head from the magnificent Provinciedomein toward Sint-Genesius-Rode to quickly climb the Alsemberg, then toward Linkebeek (black arrows), before returning via the Bruineput climb to the start. They then turn right (red arrows) toward Lennik, where they begin the return leg of this first loop. They then encounter the Beerselberg climb once more before returning to the start, again via Bruineput, this time turning left and then right (instead of left) at Sint-Genesius-Rode (green arrows).

They then reach the climb up the Eigenbrakelsesteenweg, and in Braine-l’Alleud, the climb up Chemin dit le Bois.

On the long straight stretch toward Overijse, they reach the climb up Rue François Dubois, and shortly after, they arrive on the final circuit. However, if we are to believe the race schedule, the first lap is slightly different from the next two. Indeed, on the first lap they will head straight along the southeast side of this circuit, whereas on the subsequent laps they will tackle an additional climb, the Moskesstraat, which is entirely cobblestone.
On the first lap, they will first encounter the Holstheide climb, followed by the famous S-Bocht Overijse (an uphill S-curve in Overijse), and then cross the finish line for the first time. On the return leg, they will face the cobblestone climb of Hertstraat

They will then complete this circuit three more times before crossing the finish line for the final time on Brusselsesteenweg in Overijse!
