2021–22 Belgian National Division 1

The 2021–22 Belgian National Division 1 will be the sixth season of the third-tier football league in Belgium. With the previous season cancelled in January 2021 with just a handful of matches played, the decision was made that no teams would be promoted or relegated, meaning that the same teams are taking part. The only exception is Roeselare, which defaulted and ceased to exist, making this a season with only 15 teams.[1]
