2018–19 Eerste Divisie

Eerste Divisie
Season 2018–19
Relegated No teams relegated.[1]

The 2018–19 Eerste Divisie, known as Keuken Kampioen Divisie for sponsorship reasons[2], is the sixty-third season of Eerste Divisie since its establishment in 1955. It will begin in August 2018 with the first matches of the season and will end in May 2019 with the returns of the finals of the promotion/relegation play-offs, involving also the 16th- and 17th-placed teams from the 2018–19 Eredivisie.

Teams

A total of 20 teams are taking part in the league. Fortuna Sittard gained promotion to the Eredivisie, and was replaced by FC Twente, who finished bottom in the 2017–18 Eredivisie. FC Emmen and De Graafschap won the post-season playoff, and are replaced in the 2018–19 Eerste Divisie by Roda JC and Sparta Rotterdam.

At an extraordinary KNVB federation meeting on June 7, 2018, representatives of the amateur and professional football reached an agreement to renew the football pyramid in the 2019-20 season. Part of the Agreement was that no promotion/relegation will take place between the Eerste and Tweede Divisie this season.[1]
