During the 1995–96 Dutch football season, PSV Eindhoven competed in its 40th Eredivisie tournament.

Season summary

PSV finished the season in second, one better than last season, with ten more points (once adjusting for the switch to three-points-for-a-win). The club also made its deepest run in Europe since winning the European Cup at the turn of the decade, with a 7–1 thrashing off Finnish team MyPa and a 5–3 victory at Leeds among the highlights as PSV reached the quarter-finals. A 2–2 draw at Spanish giants Barcelona gave the Dutch club a foundation for a second-leg triumph, but a late Barcelona goal gave the Catalans the victory on the night and a semi-final berth.
