Beerschot and Dender EH were promoted respectively as champions and runners-up of the 2023–24 Challenger Pro League. Beerschot returned to the top level after just two seasons, while Dender EH needed 15 seasons to return (including four seasons playing at the third level).

Top goalscorers

Rank Player Club Goals[11]
1 Belgium Daan Heymans Chaleroi 2
Germany Patrick Pflücke Mechelen
Belgium Lucas Stassin Westerlo
4 Iceland Andri Guðjohnsen Gent 1
Netherlands Vincent Janssen Antwerp

Notes

  1. ^ While the announcement of Timmy Simons's signature at Westerlo was already made on 23 May 2024, Bart Goor remained in charge as caretaker manager for the last match of the season and Simons thus only officially took up the position as soon as the 2023–24 season ended.
