In East Flanders, St-Denijs Sport took over the promotion spot of champions Borsbeke, who did not ask for licence and were hence ineligible for promotion.
In West Flanders, Blankenberge took over the promotion spot of champions Wevelgem City, who did not ask for licence and were hence ineligible for promotion.
Due to teams folding and/or voluntarily relegating at this and higher levels, extra spots opened up:
One extra team was promoted from Liège: Wanze/Bas-Oha.
Winner of the interprovincial round on VV side: Eksel.
Winners of the interprovincial round on ACFF side: Flénu and Gouvy.
On VV-side Drongen was also relegated after losing the relegation play-off.
Due to financial difficulties, Anzegem was forced to drop out of the league. Their results were voided and the club will restart at the bottom of the Belgian Provincial Leagues.
Other changes
Early 2023 it became known that Solières Sport and Huy would merge to become Union Hutoise. At that time Solières was playing in the 2022–23 Belgian Division 2, but as the club did not manage to avoid relegation, resulting in both feeder clubs playing in the Belgian Division 3, the new club started in the 2023–24 Belgian Division 3. As a result, an extra team was promoted from ACFF side to fill the gap.[1]
The play-offs feature eight teams, the two second-place finishers in divisions VV A and VV B as well as from each division the winners of each of the three periods (for periods won by overall champions or runners-up the highest team not yet qualified takes the spot instead). The eight teams play a knockout tournament, with the top two teams being promoted, all teams were unseeded when setting up the draw.
