The 23rd running of the women's Flèche wallonne was originally planned on 22 April 2020, but was rescheduled to 30 September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The race started and finished in Huy. The route featured seven categorized climbs, including two ascents of the Mur de Huy. The finish line was on the top of the final ascent of the Mur.[2] For the first time in its 23-year history, the women's race was broadcast live.[3] The organisation provided almost an hour of live coverage.
