Matchday 1 of 34 in the Belgian First Division put both Gent and KV Mechelen straight into their first outing of the campaign, a lunchtime start on Sunday 9 August 2026 at 1.30pm at the Ghelamco Arena. Opening the season at home, in a 20,000-seat ground, gave Gent an early marker to set before the fixtures piled up. The two sides had crossed paths not long before at this same venue, Gent taking that meeting 2-0, while the previous season's encounter between them at the Planet Group Arena ended level at 1-1. With 34 rounds ahead, this was the first small step of a long league campaign for both clubs in Ghent.
