The match will take place at the KRAS Stadion in Volendam at 2:30 p. m.
Viewers can purchase individual access for €3.99 via the provider's website without requiring a subscription.
Sports commentator Joep Schrijvers will provide live commentary. The stream is accessible to supporters both in the Netherlands and abroad.
Sports marketer Chris Woerts unveiled the broadcast details on Tuesday evening during the television show De Oranjezomer on SBS6.
"People can buy a code and watch FC Volendam-Ajax live, pay per view, at KIJK on Sunday for 3.99 euros.
Whether you are at a campsite with your family or in Bakkum, it does not matter. Enjoy watching with a beer," said Woerts.
Talk show guest Sander de Kramer questioned the pricing, suggesting stadium tickets might be cheaper. Woerts responded: "No, are you crazy?
It is very expensive to enter that stadium. You are better off watching on KIJK with a beer and a snack.
The result? A mediocre 3-1 victory for Volendam."
The paid broadcast decision drew immediate criticism from Ajax supporters on social media and fan forums.
Fans pointed to existing subscription costs for services like ESPN and Ziggo Sport as the primary reason for their dissatisfaction.
