- ↑ Four teams play for one spot in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.
- ↑ Twente were deducted three points for breaking the financial standards set by the Royal Dutch Football Association. In May 2016 Twente had their licence for the Eredivisie revoked by KNVB and was relegated to the Eerste Divisie,[14] but they successfully appealed this decision and stayed in the league.[15]
Positions by round
