Football league season The 2024–23 Liga Portugal (also known as Liga Portugal Bwin[2] for sponsorship reasons) was the 89th season of 🌞 the Primeira Liga, the top professional league for Portuguese association football clubs, and the second season under the current Liga 🌞 Portugal title. This was the sixth Primeira Liga season to use video assistant referee (VAR). FC Porto were the defending champions, 🌞 having won their 30th title at the previous season. Rio Ave, Casa Pia and Chaves joined as the promoted clubs 🌞 from the 2024–22 Liga Portugal 2 replacing Belenenses SAD, Tondela and Moreirense, which were relegated to 2024–23 Liga Portugal 2. As 🌞 the 2024 FIFA World Cup was held between 20 November and 18 December 2024 due to the climatic conditions of 🌞 the host country Qatar, the league featured an extended pause during the season. As national team players had to be 🌞 released by their clubs on 14 November 2024, the last Primeira Liga matchday before the break was scheduled for 13 🌞 November (matchday 13). The league resumed nine weeks later on 28 December.[3] Benfica secured a record 38th league title after beating 🌞 Santa Clara 3–0 on matchday 34. |
