The 2020–21 Eredivisie Vrouwen is the eleventh season of the Netherlands women's professional football league. Twente started the season as defending champions.
Format[]
At the regular season, the eight teams play each other twice (once at home and once away), for a total of 14 matches each. After that the top four teams qualify for a championship play-off and the bottom four teams play a placement play-off. In each play-off, teams played each other twice for a total of 6 matches each. Points accumulated at the regular season are halved and added to the points of the play-off stage rounds. There is no relegation nor promotion in the league and the champion and runner-up qualify for the 2021–22 UEFA Women's Champions League.[1][2]
