My next trip, I am scheduled to land at 6 PM instead of 8 AM, and on a Thursday instead of a Sunday, so perhaps the trains will be quicker, but maybe more crowded.
One train takes 35 minutes, most of the others between 40 and 50 minutes. (This is between Brussel en Antwerpen You have to get to Brussel first from the airport...)
And there is no reason why a train should be quicker on a Thursday evening than on Sunday morning.
I don't know where in Antwerpen you have to be, but the
Airport Express Bus stops close to Antwerpen Centraal station and is actually a very good alternative for train travel between the airport and Antwerpen. (It costs 10€ one way.)
And if your hotel in Antwerpen happens to be the Crowne Plaza: it has a stop there also

(only on request when coming from the airport).
