Mechelen|KV Mechelen]] (second division champions) *[[K.F.C. Verbroedering Geel|Verbroedering Geel]] (playoff winner)
==Relegated teams== These teams were relegated to the second division at the end of the season: *[[K.F.C. Verbroedering Geel|Verbroedering Geel]] *[[K.F.C. Lommel S.K.|Lommel]]
==Anderlecht's title success== Anderlecht became champions on April 21, 2000, after the defeat of rival [[Club Brugge]] at [[Herman Vanderpoortenstadion]] to [[Lierse S.K. (1906)|Lierse]] 1-0 as, prior to these results, they were 7 points ahead of Brugge with 3 matches to go. The next day Anderlecht beat [[K.R.C. Genk|Racing Genk]] 4-1 and then [[Standard Liège]] 2-0.
==Battle for Europe== Club Brugge and [[K.A.A. Gent|Gent]] qualified for the [[UEFA Cup]].
==The relegation dog fight== [[R. Charleroi S.C.|Charleroi]] avoided relegation with a controversial draw against Anderlecht on the last day of the season. Anderlecht were already champions and played with [[Enzo Scifo]] who had previously signed a deal with Charleroi. However, the result was irrelevant as Geel lost their last match to Club Brugge and were thus relegated with Lommel.
