Eredivisie 2025/2026 Season Review
PSV Eindhoven stamped their authority on the Eredivisie in 2025/2026, finishing clear at the summit with 84 points and a commanding +56 goal difference. Their dominance was evident as they left the chasing pack in their wake, securing the title with room to spare — a feat that would make even the most stoic Dutchman crack a smile.
Feyenoord claimed second place with a respectable 65 points, but they were never really in the conversation for the crown. NEC Nijmegen and Twente battled closely behind, finishing third and fourth respectively, with Ajax just a whisker behind in fifth. The European places were hotly contested but ultimately no surprise, with the traditional powerhouses asserting their usual influence.
At the other end of the table, Heracles struggled mightily, collecting just 19 points and a -50 goal difference, making relegation a foregone conclusion. NAC Breda and FC Volendam also found themselves in the relegation mix, while teams like Telstar and PEC Zwolle hovered dangerously close to the drop zone. All in all, the 2025/2026 Eredivisie season served up the expected mix of dominance, drama, and the occasional relegation jitters — just as Dutch football likes it.
