With Group E also featuring Atletico Madrid and Lazio, neither side can afford to drop points on the opening day, on which the home side make their return to Europe's top club competition after six years away.
On that occasion, Feyenoord won 2-1 to become the first Dutch side to lift the continent's most prized trophy, but much has changed in the decades since, and Eredivisie teams rarely feature in the latter stages.
Having reached the 2022 Europa Conference League final and last season's Europa League quarter-final - losing to Roma on both occasions - Arne Slot's current side now step up a level after claiming top spot in domestic football with an impressive title win.
After losing captain Orkun Kokcu to Benfica and then starting the 2023-24 campaign with two draws, Feyenoord posted their third consecutive victory at the weekend, and they have now scored 19 goals in their last four league games following a 6-1 thrashing of Heerenveen on Saturday - striker Santiago Gimenez bagging six.
Such scintillating form sees them keeping PSV company near the top of the early Eredivisie table, and with the backing of a vociferous home support at De Kuip they may fancy their chances of victory in midweek.
Now embarking on their first Champions League campaign since 2017, Feyenoord have only made it out of their group once before - and not since 1999 - so Slot's talented squad will be aiming to write a fresh page in club history during the months ahead.
