2022–23 Belgian Pro League

January 01, 1970

The 2022–23 Belgian Pro League (officially known as the Jupiler Pro League due to sponsorship reasons) was the 120th season of top-tier football in Belgium. Royal Antwerp were crowned league champions for the first time in 66 years after pipping Genk and Union St-Gilloise on the final day,[1][2] the first occasion since 1999 that three clubs were still contending the title going in the final match. All three Championship chasers were in the virtual lead in the table at different stages across the final five minutes before Toby Alderweireld's title-clinching goal.[3]

Genk's title-challenge was helped by a record-breaking 24 assists from Mike Trésor while Hugo Cuypers of Gent became the first Belgian winner of the Golden Bull for top scorer since Romelu Lukaku in 2009–10.[4][5][6]

Zulte Waregem, pipped for the title on the final day ten years earlier and subsequent Cup winners in 2017, were one of three sides relegated.

Format change edit

At the end of the 2019–20 Belgian First Division A, it was decided to exceptionally cancel any relegations as a result of the league being stopped early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This caused the league to temporarily expand to 18 as promotions from a lower league did occur as originally planned. It was decided at that point that the goal was to eventually return to 16 teams, and at the end of the 2021–22 Belgian First Division A, the clubs agreed that the 2022–23 season will reduce the number of clubs at the highest level again to 16, as this season only three teams will face direct relegation instead of just one. Furthermore, a new format was also decided from 2023–24 onwards (with 16 teams), returning to a slightly altered version of the playoff structure used prior to the 2019–20 season, but most importantly also increasing the teams relegating each season from 1 to 2 direct plus an additional optional third team through a playoff.[7] A minor change was the renaming of the top two leagues, with the First Division A and First Division B now renamed Jupiler Pro League and Challenger Pro League respectively.

Teams edit

Eighteen teams competed in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and 2021–22 Belgian First Division B champions Westerlo who returned after spending five seasons at the second tier following their relegation at the end of the 2016–17 season. They replaced Beerschot who had finished last by a very large margin and were relegated after two seasons at the highest level. No other changes happened as Seraing (who finished 17th) won the Relegation play-off against RWDM, and thus stayed in the top division.

Relegations edit

With three clubs being relegated, there was a major turnover in coaches with most clubs changing coach during the season. Out of the 18 Pro League sides, only seven kept the same coach from the opening day to the last. Seraing became the first club to be relegated, following a 2–0 away loss to Club Brugge on 7 April 2023. One week later, on 15 April 2023, Oostende also dropped as they went down 0–4 at home to OH Leuven. Yet another week later, on the final matchday of the regular season, Zulte Waregem became the third and final team relegated following a 2–3 home loss to Cercle Brugge.

Notes:
  1. ^ Match stopped at 3–1 in the second half due to Anderlecht supporters throwing pyrotechnics on the pitch. Standard was awarded a 5–0 forfeit win, but both clubs were penalized for taking insufficient measures to prevent the event. Anderlecht were fined €10.000, forced to play two home matches without supporters, and given two provisional home matches without supporters. Standard were fined €10.000 and given one provisional home match without supporters.
  2. ^ Match stopped at 1–0 in the second half due to Charleroi supporters throwing pyrotechnics on the pitch. Eleven days after the match, on 23 November 2022, Charleroi was penalized with a fine of €75.000 and three matches behind closed doors, and all media reported that the match would be overturned to a 0–5 forfeit loss to Charleroi. Four months later, on 17 March 2023, the disciplinary commission decided that the match has to be replayed (in full) behind closed doors, as referee Jan Boterberg made procedural errors in filing his report.[47] After an appeal at the Belgian Court For Sports Arbitrage by several impacted clubs, the final ruling was made on 11 April 2023, and Charleroi was given a 0–5 forfeit loss.
  3. ^ Match postponed from 20 January 2023 to 1 February 2023 due to snowfall.

Play-offs edit

Play-off I edit

Points obtained during the regular season were halved (and rounded up in the event of half-points) before the start of the playoff. Genk and Union SG, therefore, started on 38 points, Antwerp on 36, and Club Brugge on 30. Only Antwerp did not see their points rounded up, hence in case of ties they were always ranked above the other teams. Any other ties were broken by regular season finishing order (Genk, then Union SG, then Club Brugge).

Play-off II edit

Points obtained during the regular season will be halved (and rounded up) before the start of the playoff. Gent and Standard started on 28 points, Westerlo on 26, and Cercle Brugge on 25. As the points of Standard and Westerlo were rounded up, in case of ties they would always be ranked below the team (or teams) they are tied with. The deciding factor after that would be finishing position in the regular season.

relegations as a result of the league being stopped early due to the COVID 19 pandemic This caused the league to temporarily expand to 18 as promotions from a lower league did occur as originally planned It was decided at that point that the goal was to eventually return to 16 teams and at the end of the 2021 22 Belgian First Division A the clubs agreed that the 2022 23 season will reduce the number of clubs at the highest level again to 16 as this season only three teams will face direct relegation instead of just one Furthermore a new format was also decided from 2023 24 onwards with 16 teams returning to a slightly altered version of the playoff structure used prior to the 2019 20 season but most importantly also increasing the teams relegating each season from 1 to 2 direct plus an additional optional third team through a playoff 7 A minor change was the renaming of the top two leagues with the First Division A and First Division B now renamed Jupiler Pro League and Challenger Pro League respectively Teams editEighteen teams competed in the league the top seventeen teams from the previous season and 2021 22 Belgian First Division B champions Westerlo who returned after spending five seasons at the second tier following their relegation at the end of the 2016 17 season They replaced Beerschot who had finished last by a very large margin and were relegated after two seasons at the highest level No other changes happened as Seraing who finished 17th won the Relegation play off against RWDM and thus stayed in the top division Relegations editWith three clubs being relegated there was a major turnover in coaches with most clubs changing coach during the season Out of the 18 Pro League sides only seven kept the same coach from the opening day to the last Seraing became the first club to be relegated following a 2 0 away loss to Club Brugge on 7 April 2023 One week later on 15 April 2023 Oostende also dropped as they went down 0 4 at home to OH Leuven Yet another week later on the final matchday of the regular season Zulte Waregem became the third and final team relegated following a 2 3 home loss to Cercle Brugge Stadiums and locations edit nbsp nbsp
