The Brabantse Pijl Women's race was rescheduled from its usual April time slot to October because of the coronavirus pandemic but offers a prime opportunity for powerful sprinters or aggressive climbers to take a victory on the uphill run to the line in Overijse.

The women are enjoying their fifth edition of the UCI 1.1-ranked race and the first time using the same finish as the elite men, whose race is classified as 1.Pro.
