The 2024–25 Belgian Division 2 is scheduled to be the ninth season of the division in its current format, placed at the fourth-tier of football in Belgium.
Team changes
From this season on, the two VV divisions were reduced from 18 to 16 teams, resulting in four fewer teams entering the division than leaving it.
In
- The champions from each of the four divisions of the 2023–24 Belgian Division 3 were directly promoted: Westhoek (VV A), Termien (VV B), Onhaye (ACFF A) and Union Hutoise (ACFF B).
- Also promoted via promotion play-offs were Aywaille, Berg en Dal, Crossing Schaerbeek, Habay-la-Neuve, Manageoise, Ostiches-Ath, Raeren-Eynatten, Pelt, Roeselare and Wellen.
- To increase the number of U23 teams in this division:
- Seraing II were also promoted from the Belgian Division 3, and
- Eupen U23, Jong STVV and Jong Westerlo came over from the U23 leagues.
Out
- While Eendracht Aalst became champions of the VV A division, the club was not awarded a license and hence relegated to the Belgian Provincial Leagues.
- Ninove was promoted from the VV A division to take up the vacated promotion spot by Eendracht Aalst.
- Belisia Bilzen was promoted to the 2023–24 Belgian National Division 1 as champion of the VV B division.
- Mons was promoted as champion of the ACFF division.
- Also promoted via promotion play-offs were Binche, Hasselt, Jong Cercle, Lyra-Lierse Berlaar, Merelbeke, Rochefort, Tournai and Tubize-Braine.
- Extra available spots at the division above were filled by Stockay and Union SG B.
- City Pirates, Hamoir, Londerzeel, Mandel United, Overijse, Rebecq and Wetteren were all directly relegated to the 2024–25 Belgian Division 3 based on their finishing position.
- Finally, Warnant voluntarily restarted at the bottom of the Belgian football pyramid.
Division switch
The initial proposition placed Houtvenne together with Jong Westerlo in the VV B division, with Houtvenne cooperating strongly with Westerlo (having loaned several players over the last few seasons), other clubs objected and insisted Houtvenne and the U23 team of Westerlo would be placed in different division to avoid any probability of matchfixing. As a result, Jong Westerlo moved to the VV A division, swapping places with Jong KV Mechelen.[1]
