Jupiler Pro League Playoffs: Teams Confirmed & Points System Explained

The final matchday of the Jupiler Pro League’s regular season concluded on Sunday, determining the composition of the league’s playoff groups. Six teams will compete in the Champions Playoffs for the national title.

Prior to the final round of fixtures, Union Saint-Gilloise, Club Brugge, STVV and Malines had already secured their places in the Champions Playoffs. They are now joined by La Gantoise and Anderlecht, completing the six-team field. Before the start of the playoffs, all teams’ point totals will be halved.

KRC Genk narrowly missed out on a place in the top six and will participate in the Play-offs for Europe. Alongside Genk in this competition will be Standard, Westerlo, Antwerp, Charleroi, and OHL. As with the Champions Playoffs, points will be divided by two for teams competing for European qualification.

At the other finish of the table, Zulte Waregem, Cercle Brugge, La Louvière, and Dender will contest the relegation playoffs. Points will not be halved in this group. The team finishing last after these six matches will enter a two-legged relegation/promotion playoff against the winner of the Challenger Pro League playoffs to determine the final team in the Jupiler Pro League for the following season.
