2005–06 in Belgian football
overview of association football-related events in Belgium during the 2005–2006 season
The 2005–06 season was the 103rd competitive season in Belgian football.
Overview
For the first season since 2000, the football fancard is not needed to see a first division game. Tickets for matches can now be purchased with a single ID card and on the day of the match, which was not permitted since the introduction of the fancard. Furthermore, for the second season in history (the first time was in the 1960s), one game of each matchday is shown on public television. Another premiere is that every Jupiler League game can be watched on a private television channel.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as overview of association football-related events in Belgium during the 2005–2006 season. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4605601. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2000.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
