The Pro League is Belgium's top division, first played in 1895, and Anderlecht are its most successful club. Eighteen teams take part this season, and the bottom two are relegated to the Challenger Pro League. Club Brugge are the defending champions: they won the 2025/26 title in the championship play-offs, ahead of Union Saint-Gilloise, who had topped the regular season. Brugge's Nicolò Tresoldi was the top scorer with 19 goals.

After eight rounds Gent lead with 22 points and are unbeaten. Club Brugge and Charleroi have 21 each, Charleroi with four wins from four away, and Union Saint-Gilloise, fourth on 20, are also unbeaten and have the best attack, 22 goals. Gent, Brugge and Union have each conceded only four.

Antwerp have lost their last five and are 13th. At the bottom, Kortrijk have scored only two goals and none away from home, and Cercle Brugge are still without a win.

Genk's Rafiu Durosinmi leads the scorers with six goals, ahead of La Louvière's Mustapha Ubandoma, Sint-Truiden's Samed Baždar and Westerlo's Norman Bassette on five.
