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
[edit]The Belgian Pro League will expand to 18 teams for the 2026–27 season, therefore there will be no direct relegations this season and instead, only the team that finishes in last place after completion of the regular season 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]
