PSV was founded in 1913 as Philips Sport Vereniging Eindhoven, or PSV in short. The club play their home games in the Philips Stadium, which holds a capacity of 35,000 seats. Traditionally the club colours are red and white. These two are also the colours of both the crest and home kit.

PSV is owned by Electronics company Philips, but the chairman is Peter Swinkels, who has also been the chairman of beer brewer Bavaria. PSV is sponsored by (obviously) Philips and Nike.

PSV has been the second most successful club of the Netherlands, only trailing Ajax. The Eredivisie was won 21 times, 2008 being the last time. The first national title was won in 1929. The KNVB Cup was won nine times, the last time during the 2011 2012 season. PSV almost never end up lower than third place. It happened only once in 31 years from 1982 until 2012, namely in 2009, when AZ, Twente and Ajax took the first three places of the Eredivisie. Internationally, PSV is included in the list of Champions League winners. They did so in 1988, when the Champions League was called European Cup, or Europa Cup 1. The UEFA Cup was also won once, in 1978.

In the current PSV squad, notable players are Belgian Dries Mertens, Tim Matavz from Slovenia and Dutch international Mark van Bommel who is also the captain of PSV. Former players that have played for PSV during a certain time in their career are Patrick Kluivert, Mateja Kezman, Ronaldo and Romario. The latter two later became super players in the Spanish competition after PSV had picked them up back in brazil.

PSV has traditional rivalries with the other two clubs that together make up for the big three, namely Feyenoord and Ajax. However the match against Ajax has more tension as both PSV and Ajax have performed better than Feyenoord in the last two decades.
