== Play-offs ==
For both play-offs, who plays who, is not decided based on draws, but the brackets are fully preset based on seeds. The seeds are assigned based on the final ranking after the regular season. The best ranked team will get the highest seed (lowest number). Eredivisie teams are considered to be better ranked than eerste divisie teams.

Contrary to previous years, all rounds are no longer two legs (home and away) but a single leg. The team with the best seed will get the home advantage.

If a match is leveled at the end of the normal playing time, extra time will be played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winners.

=== European competition play-offs ===
The four best ranked teams without a European tournament ticket will play for one spot in the [[2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying phase and play-off round#Second qualifying round|2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round]]. The highest seeded team will always play at home.
