Notes:
- ^ The match between Standard and Westerlo of 10 May 2024 could not be played as Standard supporters prevented the bus of Standard to depart to the stadium. It is now up to the Belgian FA to judge who is to blame and whether Westerlo will win the match with a forfeit score, or whether the match will be replayed.[14]
