The 2025–26 Belgian Pro League (officially known as the Jupiler Pro League due to sponsorship reasons) was the 123rd season of top-tier football in Belgium.

The Belgian Pro League was scheduled to expand to 18 teams for the upcoming 2026–27 season. Therefore, for this season, after completion of the relegation play-offs, no teams will be relegated automatically and only the last-placed team was required to play a promotion/relegation decider against the winner of the 2025–26 Challenger Pro League promotion play-offs. The winner of this decider plays in the 2026–27 Belgian Pro League.[1]

Zulte Waregem and La Louvière were promoted respectively as champions and runners-up of the 2024–25 Challenger Pro League. Zulte Waregem returned to the top level after just two seasons, while La Louvière play in top tier for the first time in their history for this season since folding of RAA Louviéroise (including four seasons playing at the third level). If counting the predecessor, they returned after a 19 year absence. They replaced Beerschot and Kortrijk who were relegated at the end of previous season.

  1. ↑ The match Standard Liège–Antwerp of matchday 11 (17 October 2025) was abandoned at a score of 1–0 with 88 minutes played as the referee stopped the match after being hit by a cup, with the match already having been halted temporarily two times earlier.[37] As per the rules of the Pro League, the match was continued behind closed doors on Monday 20 October for the final few minutes.

Champions' play-offs

[edit]

The champions' play-offs decide the overall league champion. The top six teams of the Regular season play a round-robin tournament, with each team starting with half the points obtained during the regular season. The starting points are rounded up, in case of ties in standings at the end of the champions' play-offs, any half points gained at the start are deducted first. The points of Club Brugge, Sint-Truiden, Gent, and Mechelen were rounded up, and thus in the event of a tie on points, Union SG and Anderlecht would always be ranked ahead of those four teams.

The teams finishing in the top three positions after conclusion of the champions' play-offs qualify for European football, with the team in position four facing the winner of the Europe play-offs for the final ticket, unless the winner of the Belgian Cup finishes in one of the top four positions, in which case the fifth team will take part instead.

Notes:

  1. ↑ 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.

The Europe play-offs will be played by the teams in positions 7 through 12 at the conclusion of the Regular season. Teams will play round-robin tournament, with each team starting with half the points obtained during the regular season. The starting points are rounded up, in case of ties in standings at the end of the Europe play-offs, any half points gained at the start will be deducted first. The points of Westerlo and Antwerp were rounded up, and thus in the event of a tie on points, Genk, Standard Liège, Charleroi and OH Leuven would always be ranked ahead of those three teams.

The winner of the Europe play-offs will face the team finishing fourth in the champions' play-offs to decide which team qualifies for European football.

European competition play-off

[edit]

A single match will be played between the fifth-place finisher of the Champions' play-offs (Gent) and the winner of the Europe play-offs (Genk), with home advantage for the team from the Champions' play-offs. The winner will qualify for the Conference League second qualifying round.

Relegation play-offs

[edit]

The bottom four teams after the regular season will play the relegation play-offs, a round-robin tournament in which they start with the full points obtained during the regular season. Due to the league reform and the expansion to 18 teams from the 2026–27 season, only the bottom team after the conclusion of the relegation play-offs has a chance of relegation, by having to play the winner of the promotion play-offs, with only the winner of that match playing in the 2026–27 Belgian Pro League.

Promotion/relegation play-offs

[edit]

The promotion/relegation play-offs will be contested by the four highest-eligible finishers who are not already promoted directly. Normally, this will be the teams in positions 3 to 6 in the 2025–26 Challenger Pro League, unless one of the U23-teams would end up in the top six positions, in which case the next eligible team will take their spot. These four teams are to meet in a knockout tournament with both quarter-finals and semi-finals over two legs, and the highest season finisher always has home advantage in the return leg. The winner of the semi-finals will play the 16th place finisher of the 2025–26 Belgian Pro League over two legs. The Belgian Pro League team will have home advantage in the return leg; the winner of the final will qualify to play in the 2026–27 Belgian Pro League, with the loser playing in the 2026–27 Challenger Pro League.

Beerschot won 4–3 on aggregate.

Lommel won 5–1 on aggregate.

Lommel won 6–2 on aggregate.

Lommel won 3–2 on aggregate.

  • First goal of the season:
    Netherlands Vincent Janssen (Antwerp) against Union SG (25 July 2025)


Despite teams not playing the same number of matches due to the play-offs, goals and assists during the play-offs do count in determining the top scorer and top assists.
