The Belgian Women's First Division (Dutch: Eerste Klasse, French: Première Division, German: Erste Division) is the second highest women's football league of Belgium.
The league was the top level league until 2011–12. It was first played in 1973–74. From 2012 to 2013 to 2014–16 Belgium's best teams play in the joint league with the best Dutch teams in the BeNe League. The champion of the league qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League.
In 2015/16 the top level Super League was established above the First Division.[1]
For the season 2014–15, 14 teams participate, playing a double round-robin schedule to decide the champion. The bottom team is relegated to the Belgian Women's Second Division, the 3rd level. The 13th-placed team played a relegation match against the 2nd-placed team of the second division.
The winners of the first division were Belgian champions until 2012 when the league was superseded by the BeNe League.[2][3] The first two seasons featured local competitions, at the end of the season the winners played for the championship.
