All statistics correct as of 1 February 2026.

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

Format change

The Belgian Pro League will expand to 18 teams for the 2026–27 season, after completion of the relegation play-offs, no teams will be relegated automatically and last team will be 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 will play in the 2026–27 Belgian Pro League.[1]

Teams

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.

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.

European competition play-off

A single match will be played between the fourth-place finisher of the Champions' play-offs and the winner of the Europe play-offs, with home advantage for the team from the Champions' play-offs. The winner will qualify for European football.

In case one of the teams finishing in the top four wins the 2025–26 Belgian Cup, this team will already be guaranteed a (better) European ticket, in which case the fifth team of the Champions' play-offs would be facing the winner of the Europe play-offs.

Relegation play-offs

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

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.
