Since it was launched in 2021, the women's Paris-Roubaix has enjoyed its own dedicated day on the calendar, taking place on the Saturday before the men's race on Sunday, and affording the event sole attention on the day.
In 2026, however, that pride of place will come to an end, as the UCI calendar confirmed some time ago that both the men's and women's races would now take place on Sunday, April 12 – with the men's under-23 and junior races all taking place that day, too.
