Notes:
  1. The match between RWDM and Westerlo of 10 December 2021 was postponed due to excessive snow and instead played on 25 January 2022.[1]
  2. On 13 April 2022, the Belgian FA announced that Excel Mouscron had not been awarded a Belgian professional football license for the coming season, meaning that the club will not be allowed to play in the top two divisions of Belgian football and thus be relegated to the 2022–23 Belgian National Division 1 instead of Virton.[2] One day later, the committee awarding the licenses announced that the club had also not obtained a Belgian remunerated football license, which meant it will be relegated to the 2022–23 Belgian Division 2, where it will start with a three points handicap. The club has announced that it will appeal the decision, as it has done so successfully already no less that six times during the previous seven years.[3]

Notes
  1. Virton was not really promoted but reinstated to the First Division B (from Division 2) following legal proceedings related to the club having had its license removed unjustly two seasons prior to that.
  2. Club NXT did not suffer relegation but instead moved back to the U21 competition. They had been granted a one season permit to play in the First Division B to fill up the gap as there was one team short during the previous season. With Virton reinstated, Club NXT was deemed surplus again.
  3. Roeselare went bankrupt and ceased to exist.
  1. Wim De Decker was appointed the new manager of Deinze already on 4 March 2020, but would only be observing and analyzing the players for the remainder of the season. Assistant-manager Cédric Vlaeminck will take up the role of manager until the end of the season, leading the training sessions and being on the sideline during matches.
  2. Peter van der Veen was initially appointed caretaker manager at Lommel following the departure of Liam Manning, but took over permanently just one week later.
  3. Luíz Felipe was initially appointed caretaker manager at Lommel following the departure of Peter van der Veen, but was appointed permanent manager one month later.
