Fifth Round
Some fifth round ties were reversed as amateur teams automatically received home advantage in case they met the stadium requirements regarding seating, lighting and safety. Amateur teams are allowed to sell their home advantage.Sixth Round
The draw for the sixth round was made on 28 August 2018 and included the 16 teams from the Belgian First Division A, which were all seeded and could not meet each other. All non-professional teams automatically received home advantage if their stadium had sufficient capacity and floodlight luminosity, which was the case for all teams except Duffel and Mandel United.Seventh Round
The draw for the seventh round was made immediately after the last game of the sixth round, between Anderlecht and Union SG, was finished. Six teams outside the top division qualified for this round, with Mandel United from the Belgian Second Amateur Division the lowest still in the competition.The matches will be played on 4, 5 and 6 December 2018.
Quarter-finals
The draw for the quarter-finals was made on 5 December 2018, with the matches were played on 18 and 19 December 2018. Both Mechelen and Union SG, the two remaining teams from outside the top division managed to qualify for the Semi-finals.Semi-finals
The draw for the semi-finals was made on 19 December, after completion of the last matches of the quarter-finals.
