Eredivisie Media & Marketing CV (EMM) was established by the Eredivisie clubs in 2008 to leverage their collective media and sponsorship rights. The company’s first major achievement was the launch of the television channel Eredivisie Live.

In October 2023, the league clubs unanimously agreed on the outcome of negotiations regarding the media deal. In February 2024, the agreement regarding the extension of the Eredivisie rights from 2025 was finalised. The existing EMM collaboration agreement was thus extended for another five years, ensuring that ESPN will retain the domestic rights to the league post 2025.
Dutch public-service broadcaster NOS has been a long-time sponsor of the Eredivisie. In May 2022, ahead of the league’s 2022/23 season, NOS agreed a three-season extension to its long-running deal for highlights rights for Eredivisie games.
The current contract between EMM and NOS is set to run until the end of the 2024/25 season.
