Source: Belgian Second Division
Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) number of matches won; if teams are still tied a playoff is organised.
(C) Champions; (D) Disqualified; (O) Play-off winners; (P) Promoted; (R) Relegated
Notes:
  1. ^ a b The promotion playoff is to be played by the three period winners. As champions Sint-Truiden won the second period, their spot was taken by the first team not yet qualified, Eupen. They will be joined by the first period winners Oud-Heverlee Leuven and the third period winners Lommel United.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g On 8 April 2015, the Belgian FA announced officially that no less than 8 teams did not receive a football license for the 2015–16 Belgian Second Division. Besides RC Mechelen and Woluwe-Zaventem who had not applied and Mons who were now bankrupt, five more teams were denied a licence: Aalst, Antwerp, Seraing United, Tubize and WS Brussels [1]. All five of the latter teams announced they were going to appeal to the decision, by using legal procedures to obtain a licence through the Belgian Sports Arbitrage (BAS) committee. In case the BAS does not rule they fulfill the requirements set by the Belgian FA, these five teams will be relegated to the Belgian Third Division [2].
  3. ^ a b c d e The BAS ruled that WS Brussels should be given a licence on 28 April 2015 [3] and one week later also handed Seraing and Antwerp a licence on 4 May 2015 [4] and 5 May 2015 respectively [5]. Aalst was denied a licence on 7 May 2015, causing them to be relegated to the Belgian Third Division. Tubize was awarded a licence on 9 May 2015 [6]
  4. ^ Mons announced on 16 February 2015 that they had applied for bankruptcy. At that point it was unclear whether they would be able to find an investor in time to allow the club to remain in the Second Division and even whether they would be able to finish the season.[7]. On March 31, it was announced that the club was effectively bankrupt and would be liquidated. They will finish the remaining few matches of the season but it is unsure whether the team will fold as a whole, or restart in a lower division. In any case, they will relegate from the Belgian Second Division. As a result, there are already three teams relegating to the Belgian Third Division and no relegation playoff will be played by any team from the second division this season. Normally, the 16th placed team would have taken part. [8].
  5. ^ a b On 18 February 2015, the Belgian FA released the names of the teams that had applied for a football license to be able to play in the 2015–16 Belgian Second Division. As both Racing Mechelen and Woluwe-Zaventem had not applied, they will relegate to the Belgian Third Division for the 2015-16 season, irrespective of their finishing position [9].

Period winners

edit

Like before, the season was divided into three periods. The first ten matchdays together form the first period, matchdays 11 to 22 form period two and the last 12 form period three. The three period winners take part in the Belgian Second Division play-offs together with the winner of the 2014–15 Belgian Pro League relegation playoff. The winner of this final round gets to play in the 2015–16 Belgian Pro League.

During the tenth matchday on 5 October 2014, Oud-Heverlee Leuven won the first period and thereby was the first to qualify for the final round. They were joined by Sint-Truiden, who clinched the second period during matchday 21 on 21 December 2014, by obtaining a five-point lead with only one match to go. Lommel United clinched the third period title on the final matchday, as they lost to Sint-Truiden but Eupen came three goals short of overtaking them on goal difference. Eupen did however get to take part in the Belgian Second Division play-offs as Sint-Truiden were already promoted by virtue of winning the title.
