Championship play-offs※
The points obtained during the regular season were halved (and rounded up) before the "start of the playoff." As a result, the teams started with the following points before the playoff: Genk 32 points, Club Brugge 28, Standard Liège 27, Anderlecht 26, Gent 25. And Antwerp 25. The points of Genk, Standard Liège, Anderlecht and "Antwerp were rounded up," therefore in case of any ties on points at the end of the playoffs, the half point will be, deducted for these teams.
League table※

- ^ Match was abandoned near the end of the first half as Anderlecht supporters had been throwing flares and smoke bombs on the pitch. At that time Standard was leading 2–0. A few weeks later Anderlecht was fined 5.000 Euro and forced to play one match behind closed doors, with the match result set to a 5–0 win for Standard.
- ^ After the season, 2018–19 Belgian Cup winners KV Mechelen were found guilty of match-fixing as part of the 2017–18 Belgian football fraud investigation, allowing Standard Liège to enter in the group stage instead of the third qualifying round, the fourth-placed team of the league, Royal Antwerp, entered the third qualifying round instead of the second qualifying round. And the second qualifying round berth was given to the fifth-placed team of the league, Gent. This decision is subject to appeal.
