Promotion play-offs

Promotion play-offs VFV

The teams finishing in second place in the Second Amateur Division A and Second Amateur Division B will take part in a promotion playoff first round together with three period winners from both divisions. These 8 teams from the VFV will play the first round of a promotion-playoff, with two teams qualifying for the [|Promotion play-offs Final].
In division A, champions Sint-Eloois Winkel and runners-up Mandel United together won all periods. As a result, Mandel United was joined in the play-offs by the next three teams in the standings: Petegem, Gent-Zeehaven and Wijgmaal. In division B, only Hasselt and Bocholt has received a licence, with the two other spots remaining vacant. Overall this meant only six out of eight teams took part, therefore two teams were drawn to receive a bye into the second round: Gent-Zeehaven and Wijgmaal.

VFV Round 1

Bocholt and Ronse qualified for the VFV second round promotion play-offs.

VFV Round 2

Ronse and Wijgmaal qualified for the promotion play-offs Final.

The team finishing in second place in the Second Amateur Division C will take part in the promotion playoff first round together with three period winners. These 4 teams will play the first round of a promotion-playoff, with the winner qualifying for the Promotion play-offs Final. As champions La Louvière Centre won all three periods, this implied that normally the teams in positions 2 through 5 would take part in the playoffs, however both Hamoir and Rebecq were replaced as they did not receive a licence. Tilleur and La Louvière took their spot instead.

ACFF Round 1

The two winning teams meet each other in round 2, the losing teams remain in the Belgian Second Amateur Division.

The winner of this play-off promotes to the 2019–20 Belgian First Amateur Division.

Relegation play-offs

The number of teams relegating from the Belgian Amateur Second Division in each wing depends on the number of teams of each wing relegating from the Belgian First Amateur Division.
Upon completion of the 2018–19 Belgian First Amateur Division, with three VFV teams were relegated automatically, it was already known there would be at least one additional VFV team relegating from the 2018–19 Belgian Second Amateur Division. In case Oudenaarde, taking part in the [|Second Amateur Division Promotion play-offs Final] and also from VFV side is also relegated and is replaced by a team from ACFF side, then a second VFV team will be relegated from the 2018–19 Belgian Second Amateur Division. On ACFF side on the other hand, no extra relegations would be necessary and only the three bottom teams in division C would be relegated.

Relegation play-offs VFV

The teams finishing 14th in divisions A and B played each other in a single match to avoid relegation, with the losing team relegated and the winning team having to await the result of the Second Amateur Division Promotion play-offs Final.
City Pirates were relegated, three weeks later Eppegem was relegated as well as ACFF team Visé got promoted, resulting in an extra team from VFV to be relegated.

Relegation play-offs ACFF

As there is only one division no playoff was organised. However due to the fact that only teams from the VFV side were being relegated from the 2018–19 Belgian First Amateur Division, no extra relegations took place.
