Referee: Michael Massaki 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. VVPrior 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 of La Louvière Centre in the Promotion play-offs Final of the 2022–23 Belgian Division 2, there would be no extra relegations on VV side and hence Witgoor was spared of relegation.
