The number of teams progressing to the next season in D1A, the format of the competition and the possible postponement of the kick-off of the championship are among the most urgent issues. This promises a hot day of bargaining at the Crowne Plaza in Diegem.

The Court of the belgian arbitration for sport (CBAS) has made in early July its decision in the proceedings instituted by Waasland-Beveren against the decisions taken by the Pro League on may 15. On this day, with a majority of 84 percent, it was decided to put a definitive end to the season 2019/2020 after 29 of the 30 days. The Waeslandiens have been the victims of this decision, because the formula for the 16 clubs has been maintained, without Waasland-Beveren, relegated as a red lantern, but with the Beerschot, Oud-Heverlee Leuven and Westerlo.
