In the [[1962–63 Eredivisie|1962–63 season]], marking PSV's 50-year anniversary, the club appointed [[Bram Appel]] as the new coach. The first results were disastrous, however, with a mere six points earned from the first six fixtures. A sudden revival led to a first place at the winter break and a 5–2 victory over [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] in June meant that PSV could celebrate its fourth league title, with [[Pierre Kerkhofs]] leading the goal scorer charts with 22 goals.<ref name=fourth /><ref name="topscorers">{{cite web |title=Topscorers |url=http://eredivisielive.nl/eredivisie/statistieken/topscorer/ |publisher=Eredivisie Live |access-date=18 June 2013 |language=nl |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120223143546/http://eredivisielive.nl/eredivisie/statistieken/topscorer/ |archive-date=23 February 2012 }}</ref> The following year, PSV ended second in the league but more significantly, reached the [[1963–64 European Cup|Europa Cup I]] quarter-finals for the first time, where it was eliminated by [[FC Zürich]].

Between 1968 and 1972, [[Kurt Linder]] coached PSV. His team reached two Dutch cup finals and the [[1970–71 European Cup Winners' Cup|semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup]]. Van der Kuijlen had trouble fulfilling his promise after an encouraging career start in the 1960s, however, partly because of a lack of chemistry between him and Linder's harsh coaching style. The early 1970s in football were dominated by [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] and [[Feyenoord]] and it was not until the appointment of [[Kees Rijvers]] as coach in 1972 that would mark the start of increasing success for PSV. With Van der Kuijlen and goalkeeper [[Jan van Beveren]] as the stars of the team, Rijvers created a new squad by signing [[Ralf Edström]], Gerrie Deijkers and the twins [[Willy van der Kerkhof|Willy]] and [[René van der Kerkhof]]. Things improved for Van der Kuijlen when Rijvers built the team around him, giving him a free role in the process. Van der Kuijlen, a technical player, formed a successful striker partnership with Edström, who was famed for his heading ability. It led to a [[1973–74 KNVB Cup|Dutch cup victory in 1974]], and after a blistering season start (no defeats in the first season half) and 28 goals by Van der Kuijlen. PSV also won the league for the fifth time in [[1974–75 Eredivisie|1975]].

A year later, PSV managed to win its first [[Double (association football)|double]]. With defender [[Huub Stevens]] joining the team, the league title was secured after a 4–1 result against Feyenoord. Earlier, a 1–0 victory over [[Roda JC Kerkrade|Roda JC]] meant that PSV won the national cup as well. In the [[1975–76 European Cup|European Cup]], the final was only narrowly missed after a 1–0 aggregate loss against [[AS Saint-Étienne|Saint-Étienne]] in the semi-finals.<ref name="zwiers"/><ref name="sixth">{{cite web |title=De 6e landstitel |url=http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-6e-landstitel-1976 |publisher=Stichting 1913 |access-date=18 June 2013 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131216155509/http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-6e-landstitel-1976 |archive-date=16 December 2013 }}</ref> After the two consecutive titles, PSV ended second in 1977. The following year, Edström left the squad but PSV nonetheless enjoyed a strong league campaign. In April 1978, the team secured the title without a single loss. The domestic cup ended early after a shocking 1–6 first round loss against [[FC Wageningen]] (PSV's biggest home loss ever to date). The [[1977–78 UEFA Cup|UEFA Cup]] campaign proved to be more successful; after wins against [[Glenavon F.C.|Glenavon]], [[Widzew Łódź]], [[Eintracht Braunschweig]] and [[1. FC Magdeburg]], the team faced [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]]. A 3–0 win in the first leg was nullified by the Spaniards in the return leg, but a single goal by [[Nick Deacy]] at [[Camp Nou]] meant that PSV could progress with a 4–3 aggregate win. The two-legged final against [[SC Bastia|Bastia]] first produced a goalless draw in the first match. The return leg in Eindhoven ended in a 3–0 win, with goals by Willy van de Kerkhof, Deijkers and Van der Kuijlen providing PSV its first European trophy.<ref name="seventh">{{cite web |title=De 7e landstitel |url=http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-7e-landstitel-1978 |publisher=Stichting 1913 |access-date=18 June 2013 |language=nl |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109084654/http://www.stichting1913.nl/de-7e-landstitel-1978 |archive-date=9 November 2013 }}</ref>
