Notes:

1 2 3 4 Ineligible for promotion or promotion play-offs; During the season, U23-teams also could not be relegated unless a U23-team from the same wing (ACFF/VV) finished in the top three of Division 1. However towards the end of the season, first the BMA (Belgian Competition Authority) had ruled that it was illegal to make some teams ineligible for relegation while others could be relegated, penalizing the Pro League (organization of professional football teams) with a yearly 12 million Euro fine as long as they kept the rule in place. Then, at the end of the season, the BMA intervened and abolished the rule themselves, overriding the authority of the Pro League by citing urgency. The urgency in this case being the precarious financial state of RWDM Brussels, which claimed to have found an investor who was willing to take over the club and prevent it from going bankrupt, under the condition that the club remained at the second level and did not get relegated to the amateur levels. As a result, with the rule abolished, RWDM Brussels remained in the Challenger Pro League and 16th-place finisher Club NXT was relegated instead.^[12] Two weeks later, RWDM Brussels was not awarded a professional football licence and hence was relegated to the Belgian Division 1, which meant Club NXT was spared after all.^[13] Another few weeks later, to avoid the fine, the Pro League voted to abolish the rule that prevented U23-teams to be relegated from the 2026-27 season. This puts the whole reform (removal of playoffs and return to 18 teams) under uncertainty, as this was allegedly voted as one package, and legal proceedings to reverse the decision have been started.^[14]
↑ For not complying with the rules of financial stability, in February 2025 it was announced that Francs Borains were to be deducted 1 point from the start of the 2025–26 season.^[9]
↑ RWDM was not granted a license for either First Division B or Division 1 for the 2026-27 season. As a result, the club is relegated to the Second Division and is considered to have finished last. As a result, Club NXT was spared of relegation.^[10]
↑ After already having been penalized with one point for the coming 2026–27 season, on 3 March 2026 RWDM Brussels was also penalized three points with immediate effect for not being able to prove that certain debts had been paid before the deadline of 2 March 2026.^[11]

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.^[23] 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.^[24]
↑ Only five clubs had applied for a license to play in Division 1, including champions Mandel United. The other four clubs, therefore automatically qualified.^[25]

[table_hth_BEL0.53822524032473-1] 1 2 Tied on head-to-head result (Belgium 1–1 Egypt). Overall goal difference was used as the tiebreaker.

[neutral-3] 1 2 Due to the Gaza war, Israel are required to play their home matches at neutral venues until further notice.^[1]

[table_note_res_RW0.11537727718958-7] The regular season winners will qualify for the 2026–27 UEFA Europa League if not earning a 2026–27 UEFA Champions League place in the playoff.

[table_note_res_ELPO0.89461447852413-9] Union SG won the 2025–26 Belgian Cup and qualified for the Champions League through finishing in the top two, the Europa League play-off round berth was therefore transferred to Sint-Truiden.

[table_note_NXT0.65905448173129-13] 1 2 3 4 Ineligible for promotion or promotion play-offs; During the season, U23-teams also could not be relegated unless a U23-team from the same wing (ACFF/VV) finished in the top three of Division 1. However towards the end of the season, first the BMA (Belgian Competition Authority) had ruled that it was illegal to make some teams ineligible for relegation while others could be relegated, penalizing the Pro League (organization of professional football teams) with a yearly 12 million Euro fine as long as they kept the rule in place. Then, at the end of the season, the BMA intervened and abolished the rule themselves, overriding the authority of the Pro League by citing urgency. The urgency in this case being the precarious financial state of RWDM Brussels, which claimed to have found an investor who was willing to take over the club and prevent it from going bankrupt, under the condition that the club remained at the second level and did not get relegated to the amateur levels. As a result, with the rule abolished, RWDM Brussels remained in the Challenger Pro League and 16th-place finisher Club NXT was relegated instead.^[12] Two weeks later, RWDM Brussels was not awarded a professional football licence and hence was relegated to the Belgian Division 1, which meant Club NXT was spared after all.^[13] Another few weeks later, to avoid the fine, the Pro League voted to abolish the rule that prevented U23-teams to be relegated from the 2026-27 season. This puts the whole reform (removal of playoffs and return to 18 teams) under uncertainty, as this was allegedly voted as one package, and legal proceedings to reverse the decision have been started.^[14]

[table_hth_FRB0.65905448173129-15] For not complying with the rules of financial stability, in February 2025 it was announced that Francs Borains were to be deducted 1 point from the start of the 2025–26 season.^[9]

[table_note_RWD0.65905448173129-17] RWDM was not granted a license for either First Division B or Division 1 for the 2026-27 season. As a result, the club is relegated to the Second Division and is considered to have finished last. As a result, Club NXT was spared of relegation.^[10]

[table_hth_RWD0.65905448173129-19] After already having been penalized with one point for the coming 2026–27 season, on 3 March 2026 RWDM Brussels was also penalized three points with immediate effect for not being able to prove that certain debts had been paid before the deadline of 2 March 2026.^[11]

[table_note_HAS0.12873870792274-26] 1 2 3 Hasselt was initially refused a license, which would have meant third-placed Roeselare would be promoted instead, as runners-up Knokke did not apply for a license. Hasselt however appealed the decision and were ultimately awarded a license.^[16]^[17]

[table_note_USG_UNA0.14164649422357-31] The match played on 8 March 2026 was stopped after 77 minutes played at a score of 3–0, following a severe leg injury of Jérémie Mugabo.^[21] It was decided to replay the match in full, on 4 April 2026, which ended 5–0.

[table_note_MAN0.48638524836227-35] 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.^[23] 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.^[24]

[table_note_DIK0.48638524836227-37] Only five clubs had applied for a license to play in Division 1, including champions Mandel United. The other four clubs, therefore automatically qualified.^[25]

[table_note_R-E0.88295280229438-40] Raeren-Eynatten chose to restart at the provincial level

[table_hth_BIN0.88295280229438-41] Binche were deducted three points before the start of the season

[table_note_TOU0.88295280229438-42] Tournai relegated to the provincial level due to going into administration

[table_note_TRA0.94125776642061-45] Turkse Rangers did not apply for a license to compete at this level next season and therefore will be relegated regardless of their finishing position.^[29]

[table_note_DUG0.53172575660596-46] 1 2 As Geer and Aubel finished tied on points and matches won, a test-match was organized to determine which of both teams would take the final spot in the Promotion play-offs ACFF. The match will be played at a neutral venue, the Stade de la Cité de l'Oie in Visé.
