The Belgian National League was the second level of ice hockey in Belgium. The league was one rank below the Belgian Hockey League, but for the 2012-2013 season it was merged with two teams of the defunct North Sea Cup to become the "Belgian Elite League", which is now Belgium's top level league.
It was known as the Belgian Division I until the 2009-10 season, when it merged with the Belgian Division II to form the Belgian National League.
The National League was restarted for the 2015-16 season.
