Team changes[edit]
In[edit]

- Ninove, Rupel Boom and Mandel United were all relegated from the 2022–23 Belgian National Division 1 after finishing in the bottom three places.
Out[edit]
- Lokeren-Temse and Cappellen were promoted to the 2023–24 Belgian National Division 1 as champions in their respective VV divisions.
- On ACFF side, runners-up Union Namur were promoted, due to the fact that champions Warnant decided not to apply for a licence making them ineligible for promotion.
- Westhoek, Erpe-Mere, Pepingen-Halle, Beerschot U23, Solières, RFC Seraing U23 and Waremme were all directly relegated to the 2023–24 Belgian Division 3 based on their finishing position.
- Finally, Turnhout lost the relegation play-off and was also relegated as a result.
