The Eerste Divisie (English: First Division) is the second-highest division of football in the Netherlands. It is linked with the top-level Eredivisie via a promotion/relegation system.
The 2014–15 Eerste Divisie, known as Jupiler League for sponsorship reasons, will be the fifty-ninth season of Eerste Divisie
since its establishment in 1955. It will begin in August 2014 with the
first matches of the season and will end in May 2015 with the returns of
the finals of the promotion/relegation play-offs, involving also the
16th- and 17th-placed teams from the 2014–15 Eredivisie.
A total of 20 teams are taking part in the league. Willem II were promoted from the Eerste Divisie as 2013–14 champions and replaced by bottom-placed Eredivisie Roda JC Kerkrade, whereas Dordrecht and Excelsior won a top flight place in the nacompetitie, replacing NEC and RKC Waalwijk who were eliminated from the post-season playoff and therefore relegated to Eerste Divisie for this season.
