Liga Portugal 2

The Liga Portugal 2, also known as Liga Portugal Meu Super for sponsorship reasons, is the second-highest division of the Portuguese football league system. At the end of each season, the two top-finishing teams are promoted to the top-tier Liga Portugal and the two lowest-ranked teams are relegated to the third-tier Liga 3. Prior to the 2021–22 season, relegated teams moved to the Campeonato de Portugal, which shifted from the third tier to the fourth tier.
The division began in 1990 as the Segunda Divisão de Honra, a unified national tier, superseding the regionalized Segunda Divisão as the second tier of Portuguese football. When the division came under the auspices of the Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional in 1999, it was renamed the Segunda Liga, a name that was kept until 2016, except between 2005 and 2012, when it was known as the Liga de Honra. Rebranded as LigaPro in 2016, the competition assumed its current naming in the early stages of the 2020–21 season.
As of the 2018–19 season, it is contested nationwide by 18 teams, including the reserve sides of several top-flight clubs. Twenty different teams have won the division title; the most successful is Paços de Ferreira, with four wins, including the inaugural season and the most recently concluded 2018–19 season.

History

Before 1990, there was only one professional nationwide football league in Portugal, the Primeira Divisão. Lower placed teams were relegated to the Segunda Divisão, a regional league, while the top teams from that league were promoted to the First Division. Starting with the 1990–91 season, a new second-tier professional league was created, taking the name Segunda Divisão de Honra, while the previous Segunda Divisão became the third-tier league and was renamed Segunda Divisão B.
In 1999, the Portuguese League for Professional Football took control of the two nationwide levels and renamed the league Segunda Liga, while in 2005 it was renamed Liga de Honra and the Segunda Divisão B reverted to its original name. In 2012, the second tier of Portuguese football was renamed again Segunda Liga and in 2016 it was renamed LigaPro.

Format

In the 2016–17 season, there were 22 clubs in the Segunda Liga. Then the number of teams was reduced every season until it reached 18 teams in the 2018–19 season.
During the course of a season, each club plays every other team twice — once at their home stadium and once at their opponent's — for a total of 34 games. At the end of each season, the two top teams are promoted to the Liga Portugal and the two lowest ranked teams will be relegated to the new Liga 3. There will be also a two-legged promotion/relegation play-off involving the 16th placed teams of Primeira Liga and 3rd placed team from Liga Portugal 2. The B teams cannot be promoted to Liga Portugal but can be demoted if they end the season in one of the relegation positions or if the main team is also relegated.

Broadcasting

Since 2018–19, all the matches are broadcast by Sport TV, though some of them are only broadcast through online streaming. The exceptions are Benfica B, Porto B and Sporting B home games, broadcast by Benfica TV, Porto Canal and Sporting TV.

All-time table

The all-time Liga Portugal 2 table is an overall record of all match results, points, and goals of every team that has played in Liga Portugal 2 since its inception in 1990. The table is accurate as of the end of the 2024–25 season. 2019–20 league standings are not attributed due to the competition being abandoned. For comparison, older seasons have been calculated according to the three-points-per-win rule.
