The 2016–17 Eerste Divisie, known as Jupiler League for sponsorship reasons, is the sixty-first season of Eerste Divisie since its establishment in 1955. It will begin in August 2016 with the first matches of the season and will end in May 2017 with the returns of the finals of the promotion/relegation play-offs, involving also the 16th- and 17th-placed teams from the 2016–17 Eredivisie. The fixtures were announced on 14 June 2016.^[1]

Teams

A total of 20 teams are taking part in the league. 2015–16 Eerste Divisie champion Sparta Rotterdam gained promotion to the Eredivisie, and was replaced by Cambuur, that finished last in the 2015–16 Eredivisie. Go Ahead Eagles won the post-season playoff, and are replaced in the 2016–17 Eerste Divisie by De Graafschap. No teams were relegated, but Jong FC Utrecht joined the league.

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored
Notes:

1 2 3 Youth teams cannot be promoted and cannot participate in the promotion play-offs.
↑ Ten teams, two from the Eredivisie and eight from the Eerste Divisie, play for two spots in the 2017–18 Eredivisie, the remaining eight teams play in the 2017–18 Eerste Divisie. The season is subdivided in periods consisting of games 1–9, 10–18, 19–27 and 28–36. The top finisher in each period (that has not won a previous period) is a period winner and qualifies for the promotion play-offs first round even if they finish the season outside of the top nine.
↑ Fortuna Sittard were deducted three points for an outstanding bill owed to KNVB.^[2]
