Seventh round

[edit]

The draw for the seventh round took place on 9 September 2024 and included the sixteen teams that progressed from the sixth round and the sixteen teams from the Belgian Pro League. The Pro League teams were seeded and could not meet each other. Furthermore, the five non-professional teams left in the draw were always entitled to home-ground advantage, except for Belisia Bilzen, Lyra-Lierse Berlaar, and Rochefort as their respective home grounds were not deemed suitable to host a cup match. This round is set to be played from 29 to 31 October 2024.

Eighth round

[edit]

The draw for the eighth round took place on 31 October 2024, immediately after the completion of the final match of the previous round. No more seedings were used during the draw. Arguably, the most notable pairing was that between Genk and Standard, although former Club Brugge goalkeeper and Patro Eisden Maasmechelen manager Stijn Stijnen was awarded a home tie against his former club which also stood out.
