Notes:
- RBC and FC Eindhoven played a play-off to determine the fourth period champion. Eindhoven won 2-0 and entered the regular play-offs.
Promotion/relegation play-offs
The promotion/relegation play-offs consisted of three rounds. In the group round, four period winners (the best teams during each of the four quarters of the regular competition) and two (other) best placed teams in the league, played in two groups of three teams. The group winners would play in play-off 1. The winners of that play-off would be promoted to the Eredivisie, the loser had to take on the number 16 of the Eredivisie in play-off 2. These two teams played for the third and last position in the Eredivisie of next season.
