The Eredivisie is the highest level of football in the Netherlands and is one of Europe’s most prestigious leagues. Founded in 1956, the division is home to some of the most famous clubs on the continent. Ajax, current champions PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord are the three standout Dutch sides, sides who have each made their mark in European competition down the years. The Eredivisie has a global audience, particularly when Ajax and Feyenoord lock horns in the fierce Amsterdam vs Rotterdam derby. Here at Betsson, there are plenty of betting options on this popular domestic division, with a range of markets to choose from and great Eredivisie odds on offer. To help with your betting, here is our handy guide to the Eredivisie.
The Eredivisie down the years
The Eredivisie is currently ranked as the sixth-best in Europe, behind the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Since 1966-67, 18 teams have contested each season, meaning each side plays 34 matches per campaign - 17 at home and 17 away. Compared to other divisions in Europe, the Eredivisie has not had many different title winners. Ajax have lifted the trophy on a record 36 occasions, ahead of PSV with 25 and Feyenoord with 16. The aptly named ‘Big Three’ have won every single Eredivisie title bar three. AZ Alkmaar have won it twice in 1981 and 2009, while FC Twente triumphed in 2010. Unsurprisingly, Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord are the only three clubs to have never been relegated to the second tier of Dutch football.
As well as their domestic success, the ‘Big Three’ have won a combined six European Cups/Champions Leagues. Willy van der Kuijlen is the Eredivisie’s record scorer with 311 goals in 545 games.
