The 2014–15
The 2014–15 season marked the first season of the league without the name Ethias League, after Ethias stopped their sponsoring activities.
Format
Because a new team was added in Limburg United, a new competition format was introduced. The regular season now contained two rounds: in the first round all teams would play 2 matches against each other (one at home, one away). After 20 played games the league will be divided in two groups: the first group contains the teams seeded 1–6 and the second group 7–11. The results of the first round are included in the final standings.
The first 8 teams qualified for the Playoffs, the quarterfinals would be played in a best-of-three format and the Semifinals and Finals in a best-of-five.[2]
Licenses
The licences for the 2014–15 season were announced in April 2014.[3]
