How to Watch the Eredivisie 2025-26 in the USA

For the 2025-26 Eredivisie in the USA, the home of the Dutch top flight is ESPN. ESPN holds the US Eredivisie rights from 2025 through 2030, and it carries 102 matches a season — the bulk of the fixtures — across its surfaces. The everyday route is ESPN's streaming service: the comprehensive slate of Eredivisie matches streams there. A select number of matches also air on ESPN's linear channels — ESPN, ABC, ESPN2 — and on ESPN Deportes for Spanish-language coverage. One naming note: ESPN's streaming service has been through a rebrand, so depending on when you look you may see it as ESPN+ or under ESPN's newer streaming branding (ESPN Select) — it is the same ESPN streaming home for the Eredivisie. So ESPN streaming is the comprehensive route; the ESPN linear channels and ESPN Deportes carry select matches.

ESPN's streaming service is the official US home of the Eredivisie under the 2025-2030 rights deal, and it carries 102 matches a season — the comprehensive slate. For a US fan who wants to follow Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord and the wider Dutch league week to week, this is the route that carries most of the fixtures, including the marquee matches. A naming point worth flagging softly, because it can confuse: ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service launched as ESPN+ and has been moving to ESPN's newer streaming branding. Whether the app shows as ESPN+ or as ESPN's rebranded streaming service (ESPN Select), it is the same ESPN streaming home, and the Eredivisie sits within it. Do not be thrown by the brand name — the Eredivisie is on ESPN's streaming service either way. It runs on the ESPN app across iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, smart TVs, consoles and the web. Check ESPN's current US streaming pricing at sign-up. For the comprehensive Eredivisie slate, ESPN streaming is the route.

Alongside the streaming home, a select number of Eredivisie matches air on ESPN's linear television channels in the US — the main ESPN channel, ABC (the broadcast network), and ESPN2 — typically the more attractive matchups of a given round. For Spanish-language coverage, ESPN Deportes carries select Eredivisie matches, which matters for the large US Hispanic football audience. This linear coverage is a curated selection, not the full 102-match slate — that lives on ESPN's streaming service. For a fan who prefers to watch on a TV channel, or who wants the Spanish-language call on ESPN Deportes, the linear matches are a useful complement, watchable through any cable, satellite or live-TV streaming package that carries the ESPN channels. The practical split: ESPN streaming for the comprehensive slate, and the ESPN linear channels plus ESPN Deportes for the select matches of the round.

Mostly not. The comprehensive Eredivisie slate in the US sits on ESPN's streaming service, which is a paid subscription, and the select matches on the ESPN cable channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes) require a TV package that carries them. The one partial exception is the handful of matches that air on ABC, which is a free over-the-air broadcast network available with a digital antenna — when an Eredivisie match is on ABC, it is watchable free over the air. But ABC carries only a small selection; the bulk of the league is on the paid ESPN streaming service. What else is free: highlights, goals and clips on the clubs' and the league's official YouTube and social channels, accessible in the US. The Klassieker — Ajax versus Feyenoord — and the big PSV matches generate extensive free highlight content within hours of full-time. But for the comprehensive live slate, the paid ESPN streaming service is the route. The cheapest comprehensive route is ESPN's streaming service, since it carries 102 matches a season in one subscription. Check ESPN's current US streaming pricing. For the full Dutch-league experience in the US, that is the route to price up first; the linear ESPN channels and the occasional free ABC match are the complement.

The Netherlands runs on Central European Time, which is six hours ahead of US Eastern Time and nine ahead of the Pacific. Eredivisie matches play on the Dutch weekend afternoon and evening, which means morning and early-afternoon kick-offs for US viewers. A Dutch 4:30 p.m. local kick-off airs at 10:30 a.m. Eastern and 7:30 a.m. Pacific; an 8:00 p.m. local evening match airs at 2:00 p.m. Eastern and 11:00 a.m. Pacific. East Coast late-mornings and early afternoons are comfortable; West Coast fans catch the earlier games before lunch. The Klassieker — Ajax versus Feyenoord — is the headline fixture and the one that draws the widest US audience of any Eredivisie match. It is carried on the ESPN routes above.
