From 1962/63 season professional football would be reorganized further in the Netherlands. The KNVB had the plan to both the Premier League and the First Division to reduce to sixteen teams each comprising two second divisions also sixteen teams. This would mean that after this season at least five teams in professional football had to disappear. Eventually relegated only forced the last number in the league and the remaining reduction was achieved through a merger and voluntary downgrading to the amateurs.

Because of the reorganization was promoted this season, only the champion of the Second Division to the First Division. ==[Proceedings  edit ] == The teams in the second division this season did little to each other. In late November, after the eleventh matchday stood Roda Sport and Helmondia '55 with fourteen points at the top. The difference with PEC in position 10, which was eligible for the amateurs to restore, however, was only four points. The number for last LONGA had eight points. Only Zwolsche Boys remained four points behind the rest.

After the seventeenth round of play was Velox Helmondia and Roda Sport passed. At the bottom were especially UVS, PEC, Zwartemeer , NEC and Zwolsche Boys danger of returning to the amateurs. Velox then walked slowly to the other teams and stood after 23 rounds four points ahead of Barony and RCH . In the last competition was Velox champion by at VV Oldenzaal 0-0 to play the same. Bottom seemed Zwolsche Boys, LONGA, PEC and UVS degradation eligibility. The same number of points ended NEC, De Graafschap and VV Oldenzaal had in half a decision league play down to the fifth team would be coming out of professional football would disappear. The three teams all won their home game, so the goal difference in the regular season to the detriment of Oldenzaal was decisive.

Because it was not certain how many teams would be put back, also played the same number of points finishers numbers 12 and 13, a mutual decision to contest the twelfth place. LONGA won this contest Zwolsche Boys 4-1. Ultimately, only the last number of the competition, from UVS Leiden, degrade. EBOH and VV Helmond from the First Division decided to return voluntarily to the amateurs. The Kerkradense clubs Roda Sport and Rapid JC merged after the season to Roda JC . The layout of Zwolsche Boys and PEC in an amateur class was insurmountable problems, after which it was decided to maintain both Zwolle associations in the Second Division.
