The 2025–26 Belgian Pro League (officially known as the Jupiler Pro League due to sponsorship reasons) is the 123rd season of top-tier football in Belgium.

Format change

The Belgian Pro League will expand to 18 teams for the 2026–27 season, after completion of the relegation play-offs, no teams will be relegated automatically and last team will be required to play a promotion/relegation decider against the winner of the 2025–26 Challenger Pro League promotion play-offs. The winner of this decider will play in the 2026–27 Belgian Pro League.

Teams

Zulte Waregem and La Louvière were promoted respectively as champions and runners-up of the 2024–25 Challenger Pro League. Zulte Waregem returned to the top level after just two seasons, while La Louvière play in top tier for the first time in their history for this season since folding of RAA Louviéroise (including four seasons playing at the third level). If counting the predecessor, they returned after a 19 year absence. They replaced Beerschot and Kortrijk who were relegated at the end of previous season.
