Belgium has no single national press. It has three, one for each official language, and the list below reflects that split rather than hiding it.

In Dutch-speaking Flanders, Het Laatste Nieuws and Het Nieuwsblad lead on circulation, with De Standaard and De Morgen as the quality dailies and De Tijd covering business. Gazet van Antwerpen and Het Belang van Limburg are the main regional titles, and VRT NWS is the public broadcaster. Knack and Humo carry the weekly magazine tradition.

In French-speaking Wallonia and Brussels, Le Soir and La Libre Belgique are the reference dailies, L’Echo handles finance, and the Sudinfo group titles — La Meuse, La Nouvelle Gazette — cover the regions. RTBF and RTL Info are the main broadcasters, with Le Vif as the news weekly.

The German-speaking community in the east, often overlooked, has its own outlets: BRF, GrenzEcho and Ostbelgien Direkt.

Brussels adds a further layer, with Bruzz and BX1 covering the capital and The Brussels Times and Politico Europe publishing in English for the EU institutions. Football has an unusually crowded field, from Sporza to Voetbalkrant and Walfoot.
