The 2019–20 Eredivisie Vrouwen is the tenth season of the Netherlands women's professional football league. The season was intended to last from 23 August 2019 to 22 May 2020, but was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Twente began the season as defending champion, and no new champion was crowned.
On 12 March 2020, all football leagues were suspended until 31 March as the Dutch government forbade events due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands. On 15 March, this period was extended until 6 April. Due to the Dutch government's decision to forbid all gatherings and events until 1 June 2020, this period was even further extended.[1] [2] [3]
The Dutch government announced on 21 April that all events, subject to authorization, would remain forbidden until 1 September 2020. As a result, the KNVB announced the same day its intention not to continue all remaining suspended competitions. A final decision would be taken after consultation with the UEFA, and then the consequences would be discussed with the clubs involved.[4]
On 24 April 2020, the season was cancelled.[5]
During the regular season, the eight teams play each other twice (once at home and once away) for 14 matches each. After that, the top four teams qualify for a championship, and the bottom four teams play a placement playoff. In each playoff, teams played each other twice for six matches each. Points accumulated during the regular season are halved and added to the points of the playoff stage rounds. There is no relegation nor promotion in the league, and the champion and runner-up qualify for the 2020–21 UEFA Women's Champions League.[6] [7]
