The 2023–24 Eredivisie Vrouwen, known as Azerion Vrouwen Eredivisie for sponsorship reasons, is the fourteenth season of the Netherlands women's professional football league. Twente won the league title. The season saw FC Utrecht rejoin the league, which expanded to 12 teams. Tessa Wullaert of Fortuna Sittard was the leading goal scorer and was named the player of the year [nl]. Lily Yohannes of Ajax received the Talent of the Year award.[2]

Format

[edit]

Each team played all other teams twice over 22 rounds.[3] Unlike the previous two seasons, one team no longer had a bye each week, since the league had an even number of teams.

Teams

[edit]

FC Utrecht joined the league after a 10-year absence, expanding the league to 12 teams. Additionally, AZ took the license of VV Alkmaar.[4]
