Koninklijke Belgische Tennisbond / Fédération Royale Belge de Tennis (KBTB / RBTF)
The tennis federation in Belgium · Royal Belgian Tennis Federation (trading as "Tennis Belgium" since 2024)
Tennis Belgium (legal names Koninklijke Belgische Tennisbond/Fédération Royale Belge de Tennis, the ITF member) is the national umbrella body: it runs Belgium's Davis Cup ('Red Aces') and Billie Jean King Cup ('Yellow Aces') teams and coordinates the overall competition offering, but day-to-day governance of the sport, licensing and club affiliation is devolved to two community federations under Belgium's federal structure: Tennis en Padel Vlaanderen (Flemish, also governing padel) and Tennis Padel Wallonie Bruxelles (French-speaking, also governing padel). It traces back to the Belgische Lawn Tennis Liga, founded 22 March 1902, renamed several times (1914, 1931, 1979) before adopting the 'Tennis Belgium' public name in 2024.

A licence is needed to play official tennis competitions in Belgium.
