2015–16 Topklasse

Topklasse
Season 2015–16
Derde Divisie →

The 2015–16 Topklasse season is the sixth edition of the Dutch third tier since its inauguration in the current form in 2010. A total 32 teams are participating in the league: 25 from the 2014–15 Topklasse, and the remaining seven from the 2014–15 Hoofdklasse. As usual, the competition is divided into two leagues: "Saturday" and "Sunday", who differ by the day their games are usually played.

For this season only, the first 7 teams from the Saturday and Sunday divisions will earn promotion to constitute a new, semi-professional third-division Tweede Divisie. This change in the league system was approved in a KNVB assembly in December 2014. Thus, the Topklasse and leagues below it will decrement by one level, and furthermore, promotion and relegation between the Tweede Divisie and the Topklasse will be mandatory from 2016–17.[1][2]
