^ Order of legs reversed as stadium of non-professional team did not meet requirements or the home advantage was sold.
Sixth Round
The draw for the sixth round was made on 28 August 2018 and included the 16 teams from the Belgian First Division A , which were all seeded and could not meet each other.
