Following this season, Belgium and the Netherlands will have their own top level league again. The BeNe League initiative was ended because Dutch clubs and the Dutch FA failed to come to an agreement regarding the clubs' financial participation for the following seasons.^[3] The Dutch FA also questioned the lack of competitiveness.^[4]

After the season, the Netherlands revived the Eredivisie as top league and Belgium created a new Super League.

Format

The seven Dutch and six Belgian teams play a double round-robin where each team plays against each other two times (once at home and once away).^[5]

Teams

The league was played by seven Dutch and six Belgian teams.^[6]

Royal Antwerp left the BeNe League for financial reasons after previous season.^[7][8] Otherwise the same teams as last year compete. Club Brugge shut down their first team after the season, to focus on youth teams.^[9]
