Notes:
  1. After the season, 2018–19 Belgian Cup winners KV Mechelen were found guilty of match-fixing as part of the 2017–18 Belgian football fraud investigation, allowing Standard Liège to enter in the group stage instead of the third qualifying round, the fourth-placed team of the league, Royal Antwerp, entered the third qualifying round instead of the second qualifying round, and the second qualifying round berth was given to the fifth-placed team of the league, Gent. This decision is subject to appeal.
  2. As highest finisher not already qualified, Gent was awarded the spot in the second qualifying round of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League which came up after the barring of KV Mechelen.
