The result of the battle was an overwhelming Spanish victory, not only in terms of casualties in favour of the Spaniards, also in terms of immediate strategic consequences.
The position of Francis, Duke of Anjou, became impossible to hold with the States-General of the Netherlands, and he eventually left the Low Countries in late June.
The defeat and the end of the Treaty of Plessis-les-Tours was a severe blow to the Dutch Protestants and discredited William of Orange, his main supporter.
Moreover, the Spanish progress was unstoppable, and the Prince of Parma moved to Dunkirk, a city blocked by the forces of the Spanish commander Don Cristóbal de Mondragón.
On 16 July the bombardment began, and a few days later, the city surrendered to the Spaniards, along with Nieuwpoort on 23 July.

The Spanish army continued its advance, and after the possibility of putting under siege the port city of Ostend, the plan was abandoned, and the bulk of the army advanced to Diksmuide, that capitulated on 1 August.
Meanwhile, a Spanish detachment also captured Veurne and Menen.
