Eredivisie Player of the Month
Award for the best player of the month in the Eredivisie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eredivisie Player of the Month is an association football award that recognises the best adjudged Eredivisie player each month of the season.[1]
The Eredivisie Player of the Month award is based on statistics (Stats Perform) and votes from football fans, cast via the KPN Man of the Match vote (ESPN). These elements also count towards the Eredivisie Player of the Year and Johan Cruyff Talent of the Year Awards, which are presented in a live broadcast on ESPN at the end of the season. The Eredivisie Player of the Month vote is an initiative of the Eredivisie CV in collaboration with ESPN.
Joey Veerman has been named player of the month a record four times, with Steven Berghuis and Brian Brobbey each having won the award three times. Five players have won the award in consecutive months: Orkun Kökçü, Oussama Idrissi, Cody Gakpo, Brobbey and Veerman.
As of March 2026, the most recent recipient of the award is Go Ahead Eagles player Jakob Breum.[2]
