2020–21 Hoofdklasse

The 2020–21 season of the Hoofdklasse is played in four leagues, two Saturday leagues and two Sunday leagues. The champions of each league promote directly to the Derde Divisie; other teams can promote through playoffs. The 2020–21 Hoofdklasse started on Saturday 29 August 2020.

Season2020–21

Effects of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic

Previous season, on 31 March 2020, the KNVB decided to cancel all competitions at amateur level. They also decided, for those competitions involved, there would be no final standings, and therefore no champions, no promotions and no relegations.[1]

As a result this season starts with the exact same teams as the previous season.

Play-offs

Promotion

In each competition teams play periods of 10 games, three times per season (30 games per season). After each period the best team which has not yet qualified earns a spot in the play-offs for the Derde Divisie as the period champion. 6 teams from the Saturday Hoofdklasse play against 2 teams from the Saturday Derde Divisie for 2 promotion spots. The teams from the Sunday leagues do the same.

Relegation

The teams in place 13 and 14 at the end of the season fight against relegation in the relegation play-offs. They face the period champions of the Eerste Klasse.
