The KNVB Beker 26/27 season is the premier cup competition in Netherlands football. The tournament kicked off on September 1, 2026 and the first matchday has already delivered 9 finished events. With 18 teams in the draw and an average of 3.56 goals per game, the KNVB Beker table is starting to take shape after the opening round of fixtures.
KNVB Beker Table
After the first matchday, the KNVB Beker table shows several teams advancing with wins. Sparta Nijkerk beat Venray 2-0, RKVV EVV Echt won 3-1 away at USV Hercules, VV Noordwijk edged GOES 1-0, and DVS 33 Ermelo defeated Atc 65 2-1. These four sides top the early KNVB Beker stats with three points each. Three matches ended in draws - Staphorst 1-1 UNA, TOGB 2-2 Katwijk, and Hoogeveen 1-1 SV Zwaluwen Wierden - leaving those six teams with a point apiece. The KNVB Beker results also show Venray, USV Hercules, GOES and Atc 65 at the bottom without points, but the cup format means every team still has a chance to progress depending on the next round's fixtures.
Favorites & Title Chances
Assessing the KNVB Beker predictions and title chances after just one matchday is tricky, but early KNVB Beker favorites can be identified from the results. Sparta Nijkerk and RKVV EVV Echt looked the most convincing with multi-goal wins. Based on the current KNVB Beker table and form, Sparta Nijkerk has around a 25% chance to go far, RKVV EVV Echt around 25%, and VV Noordwijk around 20%. The remaining 30% is spread across the other 15 teams, as the cup schedule and knockout nature mean surprises are common. These probabilities will shift sharply as the KNVB Beker fixtures progress and the field narrows.
Season Stats
The KNVB Beker stats from the first 9 matches show a lively start. The average goals per game sits at 3.56, with 32 goals scored in total across the opening round. The most successful team is yet to be determined as the competition is in its early stages. The KNVB Beker results from September 2 included four home wins, three draws and two away wins, suggesting a fairly balanced competition so far. Top scorer data is not available yet, but with this goals-per-game rate, several players will be looking to top the charts as the schedule unfolds.
