The Dutch translation of Battle of the Planets was called Strijd der Planeten and the situations and stories were translated faithfully from the American source. It ran as a fully dubbed version in the Netherlands.

Twenty-six episodes were purchased by and broadcast on the country's AVRO network. Strijd der Planeten began airing in October, 1980 and ended in September, 1981 (although it was contracted to run through October, 1982). Due to odd scheduling, new episodes of the series appeared only once about every five weeks, although there were special times when episodes were able to be seen more frequently. Many thanks to Trudi and her wonderful Strijd der Planeten pages for supplying much of the information below.

The differences to the American version amounted mainly to name changes. Here is a list of the main American names, Dutch names and cast.

Only twenty-six of the eighty-five Battle of the Planets episodes were translated and presented in the Netherlands. As you will note, some episodes were given titles in Dutch, while others retained their English titles.

There was a surprising amount of merchandise for Strijd, given how few episodes were aired in the Netherlands. Most items were adapted from other countries, like several comic books from America and Spain. There were also domestic releases of the die-cast toys, a couple card collection albums and two LPs with episode soundtracks.
