From 1945 to 2021, the Dutch basketball champion came from the Dutch Basketball League (formerly the Eredivisie). Since 2022, the champion is decided through the BNXT League; this league features Belgian teams as well but organises a playoffs to determine the Dutch champions.

Two teams have won a treble so far, Donar in 2016 and ZZ Leiden in 2023.

In the early years of the Eredivisie, a round-robin competition was played to determine the national champion. The team with the most wins was crowned champion.

In the 1977–78 Eredivisie season, the play-offs were introduced, along with finals which determined the winner of a given DBL season.^[2]
