Notes:

1 2 The match between Mandel United and Oostkamp on Matchday 28 was suspended after 82 minutes, with the score at 1-1, due to an alleged racist incident. Oostkamp walked off the pitch and refused to continue play.^[1] One week later, Mandel United was acquitted due to insufficient evidence. As Oostkamp had abandoned the match, they were penalized with a 5-0 loss and a 250 Euro fine.^[2]
↑ Only five clubs had applied for a license to play in Division 1, including champions Mandel United. The other four clubs, therefore automatically qualified.^[3]

Notes:

↑ The match between STVV Youth and Bocholt had originally ended in a 6–2 win for the home team, however Bocholt filed a complaint and the match result was changed into a 0–5 forfeit win as the disciplinary committee had ruled that the home team had used several ineligible players from their mother club Sint-Truiden.^[6]

Play-offs

Promotion play-offs

VV

The promotion play-offs are contested by eight teams, from each division four teams: the team finishing second overall plus the three period champions. In case one or more periods are won by the eventual champion (already promoted) or by the same club, then the best ranked team that has not already qualified will take its place. Furthermore, any team not eligible (for instance due to not receiving a licence) will not be eligible to take place and the next best ranked team will take its spot.

Qualified teams:

Bocholt (3rd highest place eligible finisher (6th) not directly qualified from division VV B)
Diksmuide-Oostende (runner-up division VV A)
Harelbeke (highest place eligible finisher (8th) not directly qualified from division VV A)
Jong Essevee (2nd highest place eligible finisher (11th) not directly qualified from division VV A)
Jong KV Mechelen (3rd highest place eligible finisher (12th) not directly qualified from division VV A)
Londerzeel (runner-up division VV B)
Rupel Boom (2nd highest place eligible finisher (5th) not directly qualified from division VV B)
Young Reds Antwerp (highest place eligible finisher (3rd) not directly qualified from division VV B)

The eight teams are playing for a single extra promotion spot, there was no seeding during the draw, and a consolation 3rd-place match was drawn as well to determine a full top 4 ranking in case extra spots would become available.

FFA

Four teams normally contest the promotion play-offs: the team finishing second overall plus the three period champions. In case one or more periods are won by the eventual champion (already promoted) or by the same club, then the best-ranked team that has not already qualified will take its place. Furthermore, any team not eligible (for instance, due to not receiving a licence) will not be eligible to take place, and the next best-ranked team will take its spot.

Qualified teams:

Flénu (2nd highest place eligible finisher (4th) not directly qualified)
Ganshoren (runner-up)
Verviers (highest place eligible finisher (3rd) not directly qualified)

As only three teams had applied and successfully obtained a licence, one team was drawn to receive a bye in the first round. Only the second round winner will be promoted to the 2026–27 Belgian Division 1

Relegation play-off

At this level of the football pyramid, there is only a relegation playoff on the VV-side, with the two teams finishing 14th playing each other. Going into the match, it was already near certain that both clubs would be spared, as none of the VV teams had been relegated from the 2025–26 Challenger Pro League, but rules stipulate that the match needed to be played to determine the order in case an extra relegation was necessary.

[table_note_MAN0.67048776041273-3] 1 2 The match between Mandel United and Oostkamp on Matchday 28 was suspended after 82 minutes, with the score at 1-1, due to an alleged racist incident. Oostkamp walked off the pitch and refused to continue play.^[1] One week later, Mandel United was acquitted due to insufficient evidence. As Oostkamp had abandoned the match, they were penalized with a 5-0 loss and a 250 Euro fine.^[2]

[table_note_DIK0.67048776041273-5] Only five clubs had applied for a license to play in Division 1, including champions Mandel United. The other four clubs, therefore automatically qualified.^[3]

[table_note_1_STR_BOC0.9614937919944-9] The match between STVV Youth and Bocholt had originally ended in a 6–2 win for the home team, however Bocholt filed a complaint and the match result was changed into a 0–5 forfeit win as the disciplinary committee had ruled that the home team had used several ineligible players from their mother club Sint-Truiden.^[6]
