Championship matches

[edit]

Both the two VV and two ACFF teams winning their leagues can arrange a title match to determine the overall VV and ACFF champions of the Belgian Division 3. This season, the overall ACFF champion was decided in a single match, with Rochefort winning the title. On VV side, Overijse and Wezel decided not to play a championship match. There was hence also no match between the overall VV and ACFF champions.

Prior to the match, results in higher divisions had resulted in this match becoming obsolete as both winner and loser of the match would be spared of relegation. The match was played nonetheless.

VV

[edit]
Drongen0–1Witgoor
report Blockx43'

Prior to the match, it was known that the loser of this VV play-off would be relegated, while the winner would need to await the results of higher divisions. Drongen was thus relegated while Witgoor Dessel was unsure. On 27 May 2023, following the loss ofLa Louvière Centrein thePromotion play-offs Finalof the2022–23 Belgian Division 2,there would be no extra relegations on VV side and hence Witgoor was spared of relegation.
