2014–15 Topklasse
The 2014–15 Topklasse season is the fifth edition of the Dutch third tier since its inauguration in the current form in 2010. A total 32 teams are participating in the league: 24 from the 2012–13 Topklasse, and the remaining eight from the 2013–14 Hoofdklasse. As usual, the competition is divided into two leagues: "Saturday" and "Sunday", who differ by the day their games are usually played.
For the fourth consecutive season, no team was relegated from the Eerste Divisie, this time due to the fact all 2013–14 Topklasse teams had declined promotion into professionalism.
