The 2015–16 Eerste Divisie, known as Jupiler League for sponsorship reasons, is the sixtieth season of Eerste Divisie since its establishment in 1955. It began in August 2015 with the first matches of the season and will end in May 2016 with the returns of the finals of the promotion/relegation play-offs, involving also the 16th- and 17th-placed teams from the 2015–16 Eredivisie.
This season was the last where promotion and relegation are optional. No club will be relegated to the new third-tier division Tweede Divisie (Second Division). This change in the league system was approved in a KNVB assembly in December 2014. Thus, the Topklasse and leagues below it will decrement by one level, and furthermore, promotion and relegation between the Eerste Divisie and Tweede Divisie will be mandatory from 2016–17.[1][2]
Teams
A total of 19 teams are taking part in the league. 2014–15 Eerste Divisie champion NEC gained promotion to the Eredivisie, and was replaced by Dordrecht, that finished last in the 2014–15 Eredivisie. Roda JC Kerkrade and De Graafschap won the post-season playoff, and are replaced in the 2015–16 Eerste Divisie by NAC Breda and Go Ahead Eagles. No teams were relegated, but Jong FC Twente voluntarily withdrew from the league.[3]
