The 2023–24 Eredivisie was the 68th season of Eredivisie, the premier football competition in the Netherlands. It began on 11 August 2023 and concluded on 19 May 2024. PSV Eindhoven broke the record for most points in an Eredivisie season, with 91, overtaking Ajax's 89-point season in 1997–98.
Since Netherlands ascended from seventh to sixth place in the UEFA association coefficient rankings at the end of the 2022–23 season, the three best-ranked teams could now qualify for the UEFA Champions League (the champions and runners-up entered directly into the league stage, and the third-placed team entered the third qualifying round). The KNVB Cup winner qualified for UEFA Europa League groups while the fourth-placed team qualified for UEFA Europa League second qualifying round and fifth through eighth-placed teams qualified to the European competition play-offs.
PSV became the champions in round 32, beating Sparta Rotterdam 4–2 at their own Philips Stadion in Eindhoven on 5 May 2024.
Teams Heracles Almelo, PEC Zwolle (both promoted after a one-year absence), and Almere City (promoted for the first time in their history to Eredivisie) were promoted from the 2022–23 Eerste Divisie. After 23 years in the Eredivisie, Groningen were relegated to the Eerste Divisie, alongside Cambuur after two years, and Emmen after one year.
