2023–24 Primeira Liga


The 2023–24 Liga Portugal was 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 was the seventh Primeira Liga season to use video assistant referee. 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 could qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The Taça de Portugal winner qualified to the UEFA Europa League group stage, while the third-placed team qualified to the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round. The fourth-placed team, meanwhile, qualified to the UEFA 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

Eighteen teams competed in the league – the top fifteen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the Liga Portugal 2. The promoted teams were Moreirense, Farense, and Estrela da Amadora. They replaced Marítimo, Paços de Ferreira, and Santa Clara, who were relegated to the Liga Portugal 2 after respective spells of thirty-eight, four, and five years in the top flight.
This league season marked the first time since 1984–85 to have no teams from the Azores or Madeira islands in the top-flight.
