The 2026–2027 Dutch football season began with discussions regarding the distribution of 117.5 million euros in media rights from Disney and ESPN. Under a performance-based model weighing the last ten seasons, PSV was projected to lead the distribution with approximately 14.73 million euros, followed by Feyenoord and Ajax.

As the season progressed into its opening rounds, the Eredivisie saw an unprecedented increase in scoring, averaging four goals per match. This trend has been attributed to new regulations, specifically the implementation of a seven-second rule and penalties for time-wasting during injury treatments.
