Following a large reform of the Belgian football league system at the end of the 2015–16 season, the play-offs were no longer held.
Four teams normally played these play-offs, with the winner being promoted to (or avoiding relegation from) the Belgian Pro League.
Exceptions to these rules were numerous, as no team is allowed to play in the first division without a professional license.
The play-offs were a double round robin tournament with 6 matchdays, spaced over 19 days.
Below is a list of the winners of the play-offs, who thereby qualified for next season's Pro League.
