The KNVB Beker final brought AZ Alkmaar and NEC Nijmegen together at Stadion De Kuip in Rotterdam on Sunday, April 19th, 2026 at 6.00pm, the showpiece that decides Dutch football's premier cup competition in a single game. The 51,577-seat ground, one of the country's grand old venues, hosted the two sides on a neutral stage after they had already met earlier in the campaign, when NEC came out on top in their January Eredivisie meeting in Alkmaar. That earlier result gave the tie an added edge, both clubs chasing the trophy on De Kuip's wide pitch in an evening final. A cup showpiece of this kind carries its own weight, the winner lifting silverware and the loser going home with nothing.
