The defending champions were Genk, who this time ended in third position, while the competition was won by Anderlecht, who clenched the title after a 1–1 draw against Club Brugge with two games left to play in the Championship Playoff.
This ended a spell of 26 consecutive seasons of being at the top level of Belgian football, with only Anderlecht, Club Brugge and Standard Liège being present for more years.
Note: The classification was made after the weekend (or midweek) of each matchday, so postponed matches were only processed at the time they were played to represent the real evolution in standings.
The winners of this Testmatch were granted entry to the second qualifying round of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League.
Westerlo started with a three-point bonus and home advantage for finishing above Sint-Truiden during the regular season.
