Belarusian Premier League play-off

The fourteenth-placed team (Smorgon) face the fourth-placed team of the 2025 Belarusian First League (Belshina Bobruisk) in a two-legged play-off for the final place in the 2026 Belarusian Premier League. Belshina Bobruisk would be in play-off instead of third-placed team Lokomotiv Gomel, since Lokomotiv Gomel cannot promote to Belarusian Premier League. [2]
