## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ Not finished because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. ^ Mons-Hainaut was the runners-up six times, but did not play a play-off final in the 2020–21 season as this season was cancelled early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the league decided that Mons-Hainaut finished second based on their place in the standings.
