[edit] Overview

Only one official league existed at the time. It was called Coupe de Championnat (Championship Cup) and was disputed between 6 teams since only one new team was admitted whereas the last two of the previous championship were withdrawn. No trace has been kept of the goal difference.

Sporting Club de Bruxelles withdrew during the season and the club will never be taken over.
