Each of the 16 competitors in the Pro League hosts every other team once in the regular season. A win earns three points and a draw earns one point. Teams are ranked by total points, then by total wins and finally by goal difference, number of scored goals, number of away goals and number of away wins. If teams are still level, a test-match is played in two legs to determine the final order in the standings. The top 4 of the league will participate in the championship play-offs to determine the final league champion. The top 2 in the championship group will participate in the UEFA Champions League next season, and the third and fourth places will participate in the Europa League next season. The teams ranked 5-8 in the league will participate in the Europa League qualification play-offs to compete for another Europa League qualification next season. In addition, the Belgian Cup winner will also qualify for the Europa League. The last team in the league will be relegated to the second division.
