Eleven Sports is joining the Championship Playoff in the 4th Round with Anderlecht holding a 6-point lead over Gent and Club Brugge. The top 2 teams will participate in next season’s UEFA Champions League with 3rd and 4th place teams going into the Europa League.

Eleven Sports has taken over sports rights by the now defunct One World Sport in March of this year.
