2021–22 Belgian Division 2

The 2021–22 Belgian Division 2 is the sixth season of the division in its current format, placed at the fourth-tier of football in Belgium. As the previous season was cancelled in January 2021 due to governmental measures against COVID-19 prohibiting amateur football,[1] the division features nearly exactly teams.

Belgian Division 2
Season2021–22

As before the division consists of three separate leagues of 16 teams each. Leagues VFV A and VFV B consist of teams with a license from the Voetbalfederatie Vlaanderen (VFV, the Flemish/Dutch speaking wing of the Belgian FA), while the ACFF league contains teams with a license from the Association des Clubs Francophones de Football (ACFF, the French-speaking wing of the RBFA). The champions from each of the three leagues will be promoted to the 2022–23 Belgian National Division 1.

Mergers
  • AFC Tubize merged with Stade Braine (which was playing at a lower level) to become Royale Union Tubize-Braine, known as Tubize-Braine.
  • Spouwen-Mopertingen de-facto merged with Bilzerse Waltwilder (which was playing at a lower level) to become S.V. Belisia, known as Belisia. In strict sense it is not a merger, as Bilzerse Waltwilder continues to exist, playing only in the youth competitions under the new name Bilzen Youth.
