Can PSV run for a fourth Eredivisie crown in a row?

PSV enter the 2026/27 Eredivisie as overwhelming favourites after three straight titles, yet cracks in last season’s performances suggest the race may be more competitive. Peter Bosz retains most of his core, adding Sven Mijnans, Filip Kostić and Kodai Sano, though defensive concerns persist after a shaky Johan Cruyff Shield defeat to AZ. Ajax have undergone a dramatic rebuild under Jordi Cruyff, signing Daley Blind, Caio Henrique, Marcos Leonardo and Marc ter Stegen, while new manager Michel Sanchez aims to revive their attacking identity. Feyenoord also look revitalised with Giovanni van Bronckhorst returning and several smart additions strengthening the squad.

Behind the traditional giants, NEC, AZ, Twente, Utrecht, Groningen and Heerenveen all aim to push for European places, each carrying momentum or intriguing new projects. At the other end, Fortuna, Go Ahead Eagles, PEC Zwolle and Sparta face uncertainty, while promoted sides ADO Den Haag, Cambuur, Telstar and Willem II brace for survival battles.
