Results

Play-offs

Champions' play-offs

The champions' play-offs decided the overall league champion. The top six teams of the regular season qualified and played a round-robin tournament, with each team starting with half the points obtained during the regular season. The starting points were rounded up, and in case of ties in standings at the end of the champions' play-offs, any half points gained at the start were deducted first.

The points of Club Brugge, Union SG, Anderlecht and Gent were rounded up, and thus in the event of a tie on points, Genk and Antwerp would always be ranked ahead of those four teams.
The teams finishing in the top three positions after conclusion of the champions' play-offs qualified for European football, with the team in position four facing the winner of the Europe play-offs for the final ticket, unless the winner of the Belgian Cup finished in one of the top four positions, in which case the fifth team took part instead.

Europe play-offs

The Europe play-offs were played by the teams in positions 7 through 12 at the conclusion of the regular season. Teams
played a round-robin tournament, with each team starting with half the points obtained during the regular season. The starting points were rounded up, and in case of ties in standings at the end of the Europe play-offs, any half points gained at the start were deducted first.

The points of Standard, Westerlo, Charleroi and OH Leuven were rounded up, and thus in the event of a tie on points, Mechelen and Dender EH would always be ranked ahead of those three teams.

The winner of the Europe play-offs faced the team finishing fourth in the champions' play-offs to decide which team qualified for European football.

European competition play-off

A single match was played between Antwerp, the fifth place finisher of the Champions' play-offs, and Charleroi, the winner of the Europe play-offs, with home advantage to the team from the Champions' play-offs. The winner qualified for European football.

Normally the fourth team of the champions' play-offs would have faced the winner of the Europe play-offs, but as Club Brugge won the 2024–25 Belgian Cup on 4 May 2025 and was already guaranteed of finishing in the top four, instead the fifth-placed team of the champions' play-offs faced Charleroi.

Relegation play-offs

The bottom four teams after the regular season played the relegation play-offs, a round-robin tournament in which they started with the full points obtained during the regular season. The teams finishing in third and fourth at the conclusion of the relegation play-offs were relegated to the 2025–26 Challenger Pro League, and the team finishing in second place had to play the winner of the promotion play-offs, with the winner of that match playing in the 2025–26 Belgian Pro League.

Season statistics

Despite teams not playing the same amount of matches due to the play-offs, goals during the play-offs do count in determining the top scorer.
