Ajax have not won the Dutch league title since 2021-22. However, after a 2-0 win over second-placed PSV on 30 March, Ajax have moved nine points clear at the top of the Dutch league table. At the time, the title race was thought to be over. PSV captain Luc Dion himself admitted that they will have to focus on finishing second in the Dutch league with seven games remaining, which would qualify them for the Champions League. “(Nine) points is too much. With only a few games left to play, we can’t catch up with (the top team). We have to focus on finishing second, which would qualify us for the Champions League,” Dion told ESPN after the Ajax game.

A month and a half later, PSV fans celebrated a huge victory at their home ground. After PSV beat Hierarchy 4-1, Ajax were forced to concede a goal in stoppage time to Groningen, who had a player sent off. After the defeat to Ajax, PSV won six consecutive league games, while Ajax, who were at the top of the table, only managed to win eight of those six games, losing ten. With one game to go, PSV were in first place with 76 points, while Ajax were in second place with 75. In the final game of the season, PSV were in second place, with Ajax losing points. However, PSV won the league title for the second year in a row by beating Sparta Rotterdam 3-1 in the final game.
