Ball IQEvery Eredivisie Champion (1956-57 to 2024-25)
70 entries · verified 2026-07-20 · free · from the Ball IQ football team
The Eredivisie has crowned a champion of Dutch football every season since 1956-57, when the country's regional leagues were folded into a single national professional division. Ajax lifted that inaugural title, setting the tone for nearly seven decades in which one of three clubs would claim the trophy far more often than not.
Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord form the league's traditional 'big three', and between them they have won the overwhelming majority of Eredivisie titles. Only a handful of outsiders have broken through: DOS, Sparta and DWS in the early years, and AZ (as AZ '67) and Twente in the modern era. That concentration of success makes the Dutch title race one of European football's most predictable at the top and most fiercely contested just beneath it.
The table below lists every Eredivisie champion and runner-up from the first 1956-57 season to the most recent 2024-25 campaign, in which PSV edged Ajax to retain their crown. The 2019-20 season is included but was declared void with no champion awarded after play was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
