The2020–21 Belgian First Division A was the 118th season of top-tier football inBelgium. As part of a proposal by theJupiler Pro League's board of directors accepted by the General Assembly on 15 May 2020, the 2020–21 season would involve shortened playoffs due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. Only the top four teams would play for the title, while teams five through eight would play for the remaining ticket into Europe.[1] The league fixtures were announced on 8 July 2020.[2]Club Brugge successfully defended their title from the previous season, finishing level on points in the title play-offs withRacing Genk, as regular season runners-upRoyal Antwerp's challenge faded.

Team changes

[edit]

Waasland-Beveren were originally relegated to theBelgian First Division B, as they were the bottom-placed team when the2019–20 Belgian First Division A stopped prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, following legal proceedings, they remained in the top-flight, and instead, the league was expanded to 18 teams, with bothOH Leuven andBeerschot being promoted (normally only one of them would have gained promotion). Technically, under its current form and owners, Beerschot will make its debut in the top tier of Belgian football, although in reality two teams with the same identity have played at the top level:Beerschot VAC (81 seasons, last in1990–91) andBeerschot AC (until its bankruptcy at the end of the2012–13 season, and known as Germinal Beerschot from 1999 until 2011). OH Leuven returned to the top tier after an absence of four seasons, when they dropped to the last place on the ultimate matchday of the2015–16 season.

Format change

[edit]

With now 18 instead of 16 teams, the format has changed somewhat. While the season still starts with an initial round-robin phase in which all teams play each other twice, the end of season play-offs have been shortened temporarily and for the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons only. The title playoffs will now only be played by the top four teams (instead of six) and the Europa play-offs will now be played by the teams finishing fifth through eight (instead of all teams finishing below 6th). As a result, for all teams finishing below 8th, the season will be over upon completion of the round-robin phase, with the team in last position being relegated. One exception is the team finishing in 17th position, as this team will play a promotion-relegation play off against the 2nd-place finisher in the2020–21 Belgian First Division B, with the winner playing in the2021–22 Belgian First Division A.

  2. ^Genk qualifies for at least the play-off round of the Europa League through winning the 2021 Belgian Cup.
  3. ^abOn 14 April 2021 news was released that both Excel Mouscron and Oostende had not received a Belgian professional football license for the coming season, a requirement to play at the top two levels of Belgian football. For Oostende, a lack of financial transparency, together with generally poor quality and incompleteness of the submitted report, was given as the main reason by the committee for not awarding a license, while Excel Mouscron was refused a license as besides insufficient transparency, the committee also questioned several cash flows and whether the club was creditworthy in general, also due to the fact that the wages for the months of February and March had not yet been paid at that point. For Excel Mouscron, it was already the sixth year running the license was (initially) refused, however, the club has appealed the decision with the Belgian Court for Sports Arbitrage (BAS) successfully on each occasion and intended to do so again. Oostende was planning to launch an appeal as well, with the BAS to rule on the matter for both clubs before the 10th of May. Both clubs were allowed to add new documents to their case, but in case they however still did not receive a license after appeal, knew they would have been forced to relegate to the2021–22 Belgian Division 2 and start the season with a 3-point penalty.[37] Both Excel Mouscron and Oostende were however eventually awarded a license after appeal, meaning Oostende remained at the top level, while Excel Mouscron only dropped one level.[38][39]

The points obtained during the regular season were halved (and rounded up) before the start of the playoff. As a result, the teams started with the following points before the playoff: Oostende 27, Standard 25, Gent 25 and Mechelen 24. The points of Oostende and Gent were rounded up, therefore in case of any ties on points at the end of the playoffs, the half point will be deducted for these teams.

European competition play-offs

[edit]

Originally, the fourth-placed team of the play-offs I (or third-placed team if the regular season winners finish fourth) and the first-placed team of the play-offs II would play two home-and-away matches to determine the Europa Conference League play-off winner, which would qualify for thesecond qualifying round of the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League. However, sinceGenk, winners of the2020–21 Belgian Cup, finished in the regular season top four and qualified for play-offs I, this guaranteed that all four teams of play-offs I would qualify for European competitions. As a result, the play-off final was not played, and the first-placed team of the play-offs II, KAA Gent, qualified for thesecond qualifying round of the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League.[citation needed]

Promotion-Relegation play-off

[edit]

The team finishing in 17th place competes in a two-legged match with the runner-up of the2020–21 Belgian First Division B, with the aggregate winner to play in the2021–22 Belgian First Division A, while the losing team will take part in the2021–22 Belgian First Division B.[citation needed]

On 11 April 2021,Seraing from the Belgian First Division B qualified for the promotion-relegation playoff as a loss byLommel againstUnion SG meant Seraing could no longer be overtaken for second place. On 8 May 2021,Seraing was promoted to the2021–22 Belgian First Division A after a 6–3 aggregate win in the two-legged series andWaasland-Beveren was relegated to the2021–22 Belgian First Division B.
