The Dutch Eredivisie’s exciting start to the 2025/26 season, which saw goals in every single match, has finally come to an end. After an impressive 99 consecutive games with at least one goal, the league saw its first goalless draw when Telstar and FC Twente ended their match 0-0 on Friday.
This remarkable streak highlights a season full of attacking football and entertainment. For fans, it meant guaranteed action in every game. The run set a new league record, showing that the Eredivisie has been one of the most exciting leagues to watch this season.
🏁 A New League Record is Set
This 99-game streak without a 0-0 draw is a new all-time record for the Eredivisie. It shattered the previous record of 72 games, which was set way back in the 1956/57 season—the very first year the league was formed. For this new record to stand for so long and be broken so convincingly shows just how special this season has been.
🌍 How It Compares in Europe
While a new Dutch record is impressive, the streak doesn’t quite capture the top spot in Europe. That honor belongs to Hungary’s NB I league, which went an astonishing 139 games without a goalless draw during the 2013/14 season. Still, the Eredivisie’s 99-game run is the second-longest of its kind in Europe’s top 30 leagues this century, which is a fantastic achievement.
⚽ Other Goal-Filled Seasons
Other European leagues have also enjoyed long runs without 0-0 draws. The Scottish Premiership went 91 games in the 2010/11 season before its first goalless match. Similarly, Austria’s Bundesliga had a streak of 88 games in the 2019/20 season. This season, Spain’s LaLiga also had a good run, lasting 60 games before Girona and Espanyol played out the first 0-0 draw in late September.
