League table

Eredivisie
Season 2016–17

The 2016–17 Eredivisie season is the 61th season of the Eredivisie since its establishment in 1955.

Teams

A total of 18 teams will be taking part in the league: The best fifteen teams from the 2015–16 season, two promotion/relegation playoff winners and the 2015–16 Eerste Divisie champions.

It is still unclear whether FC Twente will be a part of the 2016-17 Eredivisie. As a result of financial maladministration, the KNVB have taken FC Twente's license, causing them to relegate to the 2016-17 Eerste Divisie. However, this decision is not yet final, as FC Twente have lodged an official protest. Should FC Twente not retain their place in the Eredivisie, De Graafschap will be granted the vacant spot despite losing the relegation playoffs in the previous season.
