Notes:
  1. ^ OH Leuven U23 was deducted 1 point for not fielding a sufficient number of home-grown players in their home match against Olympic Charleroi.
  2. ^ On 1 March 2023, the club released a statement that it was not applying for a football license and purposely decided to be relegated to the 2023–24 Belgian Division 2. Irrespective of its finishing position, Ninove will now always take up one of the direct relegation spots.[9]
