PSV secures third consecutive Eredivisie title following Feyenoord stalemate.

AMSTERDAM — PSV Eindhoven has been declared Eredivisie champion for the third consecutive year and the 27th time overall after their nearest competitor Feyenoord failed to secure a victory on Sunday.

With five matches remaining, PSV holds an insurmountable 17-point advantage in the Dutch top division.

They triumphed 4-3 against Utrecht on Saturday, clinching the title after second-placed Feyenoord was held to a 0-0 stalemate at Volendam on Sunday.

The outcomes from the weekend establish PSV as the earliest team to secure the Eredivisie title based on the calendar date, surpassing their previous record set on April 8, 1978. This also signifies the quickest Eredivisie title achievement in terms of matches played since Feyenoord in the 1998-99 season.

This title represents PSV’s 24th since the Eredivisie’s inception in 1956-57 and their 12th since the beginning of the 21st century, more than any other club since 2001. Ajax ranks second on that list with nine Eredivisie championships.
