Two years after the start of professional football in the Netherlands, the Eredivisie was founded, with amateurs leagues operating prior to 1956.
The 1954/55 season was the first professional campaign in the Netherlands, split by divisions, with divisional winners competing in play-offs to determine the national champion.
In 1956, the Eredivisie was founded with 18 teams competing in a round robin format, playing home and away, with the format still in use today.
After their dominant title win last season, in which they won 29 out of 34 games, racking up a goal difference of +90, PSV Eindhoven are expected to go all the way again this time around and are big favourites.
Should they slip up, Feyenoord look best placed to capitalise, with Ajax distant second favourites.
