Participating teams

For the inaugural season the following teams will participate:

  • The bottom eight teams from the 2015–16 Belgian Second Division: Dessel Sport, Seraing United, Virton, ASV Geel, Deinze, Patro Eisden Maasmechelen, Heist and Coxyde
  • WS Brussels who were refused a Belgian professional football license and were therefore relegated to the Belgian First Amateur Division in spite of becoming champions in the 2015–16 Belgian Second Division. As a result, Roeselare avoided relegation and remained in the Belgian Second Division.
  • The top two teams in both group A and group B of the 2015–16 Belgian Third Division that had applied and obtained a Belgian remunerated football license: Hamme, Oudenaarde, Beerschot Wilrijk and Oosterzonen Oosterwijk
  • The three Promotion play-offs winners: Sprimont-Comblain, FCV Dender EH and Hasselt.

    • Promotion play-offs

    The teams finishing in the top four positions will enter the promotion play-offs. The points obtained during the regular season will be halved (and rounded up) before the start of the playoff. The leading team after the play-offs gains promotion to the 2017–18 Belgian First Division B.
