# Belgian Second Division play-offs 2011–20

This article gives a summary of results for the Belgian Second Division play-offs from 2011 to 2015.
After the reformation of Belgian Football League system in 2016, the Belgian Second Division play-offs was scrapped. An expanded Europa League playoff of the new Belgian First Division A was created, which consists three teams from the new Belgian First Division B. But these teams, unlike teams before, were not eligible to promote through these playoffs. Only the champions of the newly established Belgian First Division B could be promoted from 2015-16 season to 2018-19 season. For 2019-20 season, due to coronavirus pandemic, relegation from Belgian First Division A, as well as the Europa League playoff, were cancelled, thus both of the split season winners were promoted. From 2020-21 season, Belgian First Division B has 1.5 promotion berths, which de facto resumed Belgian Second Division play-offs.

The following teams qualified for the 2011 play-offs:

### Test match

Since Mons and Waasland-Beveren finished with the same number of points and the same number of matches won, a test match was organised on a neutral ground to determine the play-off winner. Mons beat Waasland-Beveren due to a late goal and thus promotes to the Belgian Pro League.
