Sporting Anderlecht became champions.
Promoted teams
These teams were promoted from the second division at the start of the season:
- KV Mechelen (second division champions)
- Verbroedering Geel (playoff winner)
Relegated teams
These teams were relegated to the second division at the end of the season:
Anderlecht's title success
Anderlecht became champions on April 21, 2000 after the defeat of rival Club Brugge at Herman Vanderpoortenstadion to Lierse 1-0 as it was 7 points ahead the Brugge team with 3 matches to go prior to this. The next day Anderlecht beat Racing Genk by 1-4 and then Standard Liège 2-0.
Battle for Europe
The runner-up Club Brugge qualified for the UEFA Cup and so did Gent.
The relegation dog fight
Charleroi avoided the relegation with a discussed draw against Anderlecht on the last matchday. Anderlecht was indeed already champion and it played with Enzo Scifo who had previously signed a deal with Charleroi. Anyway Geel lost its last match to Club Brugge and it was thus relegated with Lommel.
