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, prior to these results, they were 7 points ahead of Brugge with 3 matches to go. The next day Anderlecht beat Racing Genk 4-1 and then Standard Liège 2-0.
Battle for Europe
Club Brugge and Gent qualified for the UEFA Cup.
The relegation dog fight
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.
