Notes:
- ^ The regular season winner will qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League if not earning 2025–26 UEFA Champions League in the playoff.
Notes
- ^ 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.
