2023–24 Primeira Liga


2023–24 Primeira Liga


The 2023–24 Liga Portugal (also known as Liga Portugal Betclic for sponsorship reasons) is the 90th season of the Primeira Liga, the top professional league for Portuguese association football clubs and the third season under the current Liga Portugal title. This is the seventh Primeira Liga season to use video assistant referee (VAR). Benfica were the defending champions, having won their 38th title the previous season.

Since Portugal dropped from sixth to seventh place in the UEFA association coefficient rankings at the end of 2022–23 season, only the two best-ranked teams can qualify for the UEFA Champions League (the champions enter directly into the group stage, and the runners-up enter the third qualifying round). The Taça de Portugal winner qualified to the UEFA Europa League group stage while the third-placed team qualify to the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round. The fourth-placed team, meanwhile, qualify to the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round.

On 5 May, Sporting CP were confirmed as champions with two matches to spare following Benfica's 2–0 away defeat to Famalicão, clinching the club's 20th league title and first since the 2020–21 season.

Teams

Changes

Moreirense, Farense (after a one and two years absence, respectively), and Estrela da Amadora (promoted for the first time in history in its current form founded in 2020 or after a fourteen-year absence if counting the club that dissolved in 2011 due to bankruptcy) were promoted from the 2022–23 Liga Portugal 2, replacing Marítimo, Paços de Ferreira, and Santa Clara (relegated after thirty-eight, four, and five years on the top flight, respectively).

This season marks the first season of top-flight Portuguese football since the 1984–85 season where no teams from the Azores islands or Madeira have taken part.
