← Eredivisie 2017/18

The 2018/19 Eredivisie was the 63rd season of the top Dutch football league and the 130th competition for the Dutch national championship . It began on August 10, 2018 with the play of PEC Zwolle against SC Heerenveen and was suspended from 25 December 2018 through 18 January 2019 a winter break. The last matchday was played on May 15, 2019.

PSV Eindhoven started the season as defending champions . The 2009/10 Eredivisie champion, FC Twente Enschede , had to relegate to the second-rate Eerste Divisie for the first time since the 1980s . Since the champion of the Eerste Divisie 2017/18 , Jong Ajax , was not eligible for promotion, the runner-up, Fortuna Sittard , played in the Eredivisie.

Season course

The 33rd matchday was postponed by the KNVB to the period between May 15th and 18th, three days after the actual final matchday. The reason was the semi-finals of the cup winners Ajax Amsterdams in the Champions League . On the last day of the match, Ajax won the title of national champion for the 34th time and was able to crown an outstanding season with the “double” of championship and KNVB cup .
