FC Twente is scheduled to play against Telstar on 9 September. The club wants to focus fully on the Europa League play-offs. Ajax and FC Twente have also rescheduled their matches. For those clubs, participating in the Conference League and Europa League, the matches from round 3 (against Willem II and Telstar) will only be played in September. The European commitments of Eredivisie clubs have a greater impact on the schedule. Some match moments in the first and second rounds are dependent on the draw of Ajax and FC Twente. Also, dates can change later in the season, depending on the European performances of clubs. PSV (champion), Feyenoord (runner-up) and AZ (cup winner) do not need to play qualifying matches as the Dutch representative this season. Ajax is playing in the second qualifying round of the Conference League, FC Twente in the same qualifying round, but then from the Europa League, and NEC is playing in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. | Round | Match | Change | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | PEC Zwolle - Ajax | Time can change depending on the draw/placement | | 1 | SC Heerenveen - FC Twente | Time can change depending on the draw/placement | | 2 | FC Twente - PEC Zwolle | Time can change depending on the draw/placement | | 2 | Ajax - SC Heerenveen | Time can change depending on the draw/placement | | 3 | NEC - Excelsior | Match is rescheduled if NEC plays in the Champions League play-offs | | 3 | Sparta - FC Utrecht | Time changes if NEC plays in the Champions League play-offs | | 3 | FC Twente - Telstar | Match played on 9 September instead of in August | | 3 | Ajax - Willem II | Match played on 15 September instead of in August | | 6 | SC Heerenveen - Telstar | Match moment is reversed if NEC does not qualify for the Champions League | | 6 | SC Cambuur - NEC | Match moment is reversed if NEC does not qualify for the Champions League | | 7 | AZ - Telstar | Time can change depending on the draw/placement | | 7 | NEC - Go Ahead Eagles | Time can change depending on the draw/placement | | 7 | FC Twente - PSV | Time can change depending on the draw/placement | | 8 | PSV - SC Heerenveen | Time can change depending on the draw/placement | | 8 | Feyenoord - AZ | Time can change depending on the draw/placement | | 8 | Ajax - NEC | Time can change depending on the draw/placement |
