Groningen On 2 July 2023, Peersman signed a three-year contract with Groningen, who had just been relegated from the Eredivisie. He made his debut for the club on 11 August 2023 in a 4–1 home win over Jong Ajax in the Eerste Divisie. Manager Dick Lukkien started him at left-back, a position he retained for the rest of the season. On 1 November 2023, Peersman scored his first goal for the club, a 71st-minute winner set up by Wouter Prins in a first-round KNVB Cup tie away to Rijnsburgse Boys. A few days later he scored his first league goal, putting Groningen 2–1 ahead in the 69th minute of a 2–2 home draw with FC Dordrecht. Groningen finished the 2023–24 season as Eerste Divisie runners-up and returned to the Eredivisie after a single season away.
In the first half of the 2024–25 season, Peersman partnered Marco Rente at centre-back. In late November he lost his place in the centre to Thijmen Blokzijl and moved back to left-back, where he stayed for the rest of the campaign. In that season his only absence came in February, after he broke a metatarsal in an away match against Heracles Almelo. In the 2025–26 season, his third and last at Groningen, Peersman was again a regular, making 35 competitive starts. He sat out only the home match against PSV, through suspension. On 2 May 2026, he made his 100th competitive appearance for the club in a 3–2 home defeat to Excelsior. Despite being offered a new contract at Groningen, Peersman chose to leave the club at the end of the season.
