Entering the 2026-27 Eredivisie season, PSV Eindhoven was favored by Opta supercomputer simulations to win the league title, following a record-breaking previous campaign. Due to changes in Dutch league qualification rules, winning the title became the sole direct route to the UEFA Champions League. PSV has since secured direct qualification for the Champions League league phase. However, following a 0-4 loss to AZ in the Johan Cruijff Schaal, concerns have been raised regarding the team's defensive stability. In response to these vulnerabilities, the club has signed winger Filip Kostic and is reportedly pursuing midfielder Kodai Sano and defender Lutsharel Geertruida.
