In

Promoted from the Belgian Provincial Leagues were:
- Champions for each of the provincial leagues: Bevel (Antwerp), Sporting Bruxelles (Brabant ACFF), Rotselaar (Brabant VV), St-Ghislain Tertre Hautrage (Hainaut), Geer (Liège), Achel (Limburg), Harre-Manhay (Luxembourg), Biesme (Namur)
- In East-Flanders, Drongen took over the promotion spot of champions Munkzwalm, who did not ask for a license and were hence ineligible for promotion.
- In West-Flanders, provincial league champion K.S.V. Diksmuide merged with neighbours Oostende who ceased to exist after going bankrupt. The new club continues with the matricule number of Diksmuide under the name Diksmuide-Oostende.
- Due to teams folding or voluntarily relegating at this and higher levels, extra spots opened up:
  - Two extra teams were promoted from Liège: Aubel and Eupen 1963
  - One extra team was promoted from West-Flanders: Lauwe.
- Winner of the interprovincial round on VV side: De Kempen.
- Winners of the interprovincial round on ACFF side: Buzet, Evere, Libramont, Loyers, Tilff and R.A.FC Oppagne-Weris
Clubs relegated based on their finishing position in the 2023–24 Belgian Division 2: City Pirates, Hamoir, Londerzeel, Mandel United, Overijse, Rebecq and Wetteren.
