The 2024–25 season was the 15th iteration, tenth since the restart in 2015, of the Eredivisie, the top national women's football league in the Netherlands. The season started on 28 September 2024 and concluded with the final matchday on 17 May 2025, with a season break between 22 December 2024 and 18 January 2025.[3][4] Starting this season, the last placed team can be relegated if a club's first team wins the second-tier Vrouwen Eerste Divisie.[5][6] In April 2025, Fortuna Sittard announced it would dissolve its women's team at the end of the season, with the club competing for three seasons in the league.[7][8]

FC Twente won the championship, its tenth national league title. They clinched in the final match of the season, topping PSV on goal differential. The top two teams qualified for the Champions League, while defending champion Ajax fell to third place, landing a spot in the new Europa Cup.[9][10]

After the season, the Eredivisie named Renate Jansen of PSV the Player of the Year and Veerle Buurman of PSV the Johan Cruyff Talent of the Year.[11]

Format

The 12 teams in the league played in a double round-robin format: each team played all other teams twice over 22 rounds, once at home and once away.[3] The teams in the league were unchanged from the previous season, the first season with such stability since 2020–21, when there were only eight teams in the league.

All league matches were broadcast on ESPN.[3] Some matches were also broadcast on national broadcaster NOS.[12]
