Changes from 2019-20

In light of further professionalising women's football in Belgium, several changes were introduced through RBFA's "The World at our Feet" project. ^[2]
The six teams of the previous years (Anderlecht, Club YLA, AA Gent, KRC Genk, OH Leuven and Standard Liège) were joined by both champion and runner-up of the 1st National division: Eendracht Aalst and White Star Woluwe respectively. Zulte-Waregem and Charleroi completed the list of 10 teams, ensuring a larger geographical spread of the women's teams at the highest level. ^[3]
The Women's Super League also received a brand new visual identity and logo. Interactive content is provided via new Facebook , Instagram and Twitter accounts.

All 10 teams play each other twice in a regular competition, for a total of 18 matches. The final standings are than divided in 2 groups, with the top 5 teams competing in Play-off 1 and the bottom 5 in Play-off 2.
Each team in each Play-off starts with half their points from the regular competition, rounded up. The 5 teams than play a total of 8 matches to determine the final rankings. [4]
