How to watch Ajax vs NEC Nijmegen: kick-off time and streaming

Ajax and NEC Nijmegen meet at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on 21 Feb 2026 with kick-off at 20:00. The sides sit level on 42 points, turning this top-four clash into a genuine six-pointer for European qualification. Ajax come into the game off a 4-1 win over Fortuna Sittard that ended a three-match winless run.

Under Fred Grim the Amsterdammers have made their home ground hard to beat, but NEC represent one of their sternest tests in weeks. NEC Nijmegen are enjoying a historic season and sit third on goal difference. Dick Schreuder has turned them into a clinical, counter-attacking outfit that lead the league in goals scored outside PSV; the teams previously drew 2-2 this season and NEC beat Ajax 3-0 in Amsterdam last May.
