NEC's 2026-27 season
Every club in the division is played twice, home and away, so the schedule below is the whole league seen from one side of it.
The season opens at home against Telstar on Aug 8, and finishes at home against Utrecht on May 23. The heaviest stretch is 2 matches in seven days, from Sep 5 to Sep 8.
Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than local time in Netherlands — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. Matches whose time the broadcasters have not yet fixed show a date and a ? instead; those are settled about five or six weeks ahead, and a match can move day as well as time when it happens. To see how NEC's run compares with the rest of the division, the full grid puts all 18 clubs side by side.
Frequently asked questions
When do NEC play next?
NEC's next match is away at Ajax on Oct 10. The full list below shows every remaining match, with kick-off times in your own timezone.
How many games do NEC play in 2026-27?
34 Eredivisie matches: 17 at home at Goffertstadion and 17 away, from Aug 8 to May 23. Cup competitions are not included.
Why do some NEC matches have no kick-off time?
The Eredivisie publishes its schedule a season ahead but confirms kick-off times only about five or six weeks in advance, after the broadcasters pick their matches — which can also move a match between Saturday, Sunday and Monday. 11 of NEC's 34 matches are still waiting on that, and are shown with a date but no time.
What is NEC's longest run of home games?
2 in a row, from Sep 5 to Sep 8. The longest away run is 2, from Aug 15 to Aug 29.
