Revision as of 21:37, 20 November 2020

The 2020–21 Eerste Divisie, known as Keuken Kampioen Divisie for sponsorship reasons, is the sixty-fifth season of Eerste Divisie since its establishment in 1955. It began on 28 August 2020, and is scheduled to end on 14 May 2021.

Relegation for reserve teams

On 1 August 2020, the KNVB detailed on its website in what scenarios the reserve teams in the league would be relegated from the Eerste Divisie.^[1]

Relegation to the Tweede Divisie

No reserve team from the Eerste Divisie can be relegated to the Tweede Divisie if the lowest classified reserves team in the Eerste is in the top 10.
If the lowest classified reserve team in the Eerste Divisie finishes between 11th through 18th and the highest classified reserve team in the Tweede Divisie finishes first, the two teams will play each other in a two-legged tie to decide which team will play in the Eerste the next season and which team will play in the Tweede.
If the lowest classified reserves in the Eerste finish 19th or 20th and the highest classified reserves in the Tweede finish first or second, the lowest classified team from the Eerste will be relegated to the Tweede while the highest classified reserves in the Tweede will be promoted to the Eerste.
If a reserve team plays in the Eerste and the first team is relegated from the Eredivisie to the Eerste, the reserves are automatically relegated to the Tweede. In case this reserve team finishes between first through third in the final ranking of reserves, the fourth-placed team is not relegated.

Teams

A total of 20 teams are taking part in the league. On 24 April 2020, the 2019–20 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands.^[2] As a result, there was no promotion or relegation for the 2019–20 season, and the same teams are competing in the 2020–21 season.
