The division consists of three separate leagues with 16 teams each, two of these leagues consist of teams playing with a license from the <i>Voetbalfederatie Vlaanderen</i> (VFV, the Dutch speaking wing of the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Belgian_Football_Association" title="Royal Belgian Football Association">RBFA</a>) and one with teams with a license from the <i>Association des Clubs Francophones de Football</i> (ACFF, the French-speaking wing of the RBFA). </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Belgian_Division_2&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Belgian Second Amateur Division was created in 2016 as successor of the <a href="/wiki/Belgian_Third_Division" title="Belgian Third Division">Belgian Third Division</a> following an overhaul of the <a href="/wiki/Belgian_football_league_system" title="Belgian football league system">Belgian football league system</a> which saw the number of professional clubs reduced to 24.

As a result, the Belgian Provincial leagues dropped to the sixth level of the league system.

The winners of each league are directly promoted to the <a href="/wiki/Belgian_National_Division_1" title="Belgian National Division 1">Belgian National Division 1</a>. Besides these three promoting teams, one additional promotion is possible: for this twelve other teams are in contention as four teams in each league qualify for the end of season playoffs. The eight teams from the VFV side are grouped together to compete in a VFV playoff for two spots in the playoff final, the four teams from ACFF side playoff for one spot. The two VFV winners and the ACFF winner are joined by the 13th placed team from the <a href="/wiki/Belgian_National_Division_1" title="Belgian National Division 1">Belgian National Division 1</a> in the playoff final, with the winner of those four taking the final promotion spot (in case the team from the Belgian National Division 1 wins, this team remains at that level and no extra team from the Belgian Second Amateur Division is promoted besides the three league winners). </p><p>Regarding relegation, on ACFF side the bottom three teams are relegated to the <a href="/wiki/Belgian_Division_3" title="Belgian Division 3">Belgian Division 3</a>, while on VFV side only the bottom two teams from each league are relegated. Additionally, based on the language group of the directly relegating teams from the <a href="/wiki/Belgian_National_Division_1" title="Belgian National Division 1">Belgian National Division 1</a> each season, it is possible that there will be up to three extra relegations on each side. On ACFF side this just means that any additional required relegations will happen from bottom upwards, starting with the 13th finisher, then 12th finisher and so on. On VFV side, a relegation playoff is organised each season between the two teams finishing 14th, with the losing team first in line to drop in case needed, followed by the winner. If an additional relegation would be necessary, the 13th placed teams would need to playoff as well.<sup id="cite_ref-kbvb_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kbvb-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Past_winners">Past winners</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Belgian_Division_2&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Past winners"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center;"> <tbody><tr> <th>Season </th> <th>Division A winner (VFV) </th> <th>Division B winner (VFV) </th> <th>Division C winner (ACFF) </th> <th>Promotion play-off winner </th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/2016%E2%80%9317_Belgian_Second_Amateur_Division" title="2016–17 Belgian Second Amateur Division">2016–17</a></td> <td><a href="/wiki/R._Knokke_FC" class="mw-redirect" title="R.
