How the Eredivisie Season Works
Each club plays 34 matches, facing every other club home and away. The champion qualifies for the UEFA Champions League, with further European places decided through the final table and the end-of-season European playoffs. At the bottom, the last-place club is relegated directly to the Eerste Divisie, while the clubs just above it enter the relegation and promotion playoffs.
