Promotion/relegation play-offs
The seeds were assigned based on the final ranking after the regular season. The best ranked team got the highest seed (lowest number). Eredivisie teams were considered to be better ranked than Eerste Divisie teams.
If a match was level at the end of normal playing time, extra time was played (two periods of fifteen minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winners.
Seven teams, six from the Eerste Divisie and one from the Eredivisie, played for a spot in the
2022–23 Eredivisie. The remaining six teams played in the
2022–23 Eerste Divisie. The highest seeded team or the team from the Eredivisie always host the second leg.
