2013–14 Topklasse

The 2013–14 Topklasse season is the fourth edition of the Dutch third tier since its inauguration in the current form in 2010. A total 32 teams are participating in the league: 25 from the 2012–13 Topklasse, and the remaining seven from the 2012–13 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 third consecutive season, no team was relegated from the Eerste Divisie, this time due to the fact all 2012–13 Topklasse have declined promotion into professionalism. However, Achilles '29 did promote from last season's Topklasse to the 2013–14 Eerste Divisie, being the first amateur club to do so.[1]
