Eredivisie Player of the Month

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.

Steven Berghuis has been named player of the month a record three times, with Davy Klaassen, Hakim Ziyech, Frenkie de Jong, Orkun Kökçü, Donyell Malen, Oussama Idrissi, Cody Gakpo, Vangelis Pavlidis, Brian Brobbey and Luuk de Jong having won the award twice each. Four players have won the award in consecutive months: Kökçü, Idrissi, Gakpo and Brobbey.

As of May 2024, the most recent recipient of the award is NEC player Tjaronn Chery. ^[2]
