During the2008–09 seasonAnderlecht competed in theBelgian First Division,Belgian Cup, andChampions League. Anderlecht competed in theBelgian Super Cup as cup-winners, but lost to Standard Liège.

After the 34 league matches, they ended with 77 points tied for first place. AsStandard Liège had the same number of points and the same number of matches won, test matches were organised to determine the winner. Anderlecht drew 1–1 at home but then lost 1–0 at Standard and thus ended in second position. In the cup they were eliminated in the early rounds byMechelen, who progressed on to lose the final.

Anderlecht failed to progress past the second qualifying round ofUEFA Champions League.
