What is Portugal Primeira Liga?

History of the Portugal Primeira Liga

The Campeonato de Portugal was the first competition established in Portuguese football that allowed teams from across the country to take part. This was held for the first time in 1922, although it just featured two teams: Porto and Sporting CP. Porto were crowned the inaugural Champions of Portugal after beating their rivals in the final.

Until 1937, the Campeonato de Portugal was held every season, with clubs participating in regional leagues before winners would progress to the knock-out stages to determine the champion. However, 1934-35 was the inaugural season of the Campeonato da Liga, a round-robin league that would later become the Primeira Liga.

In 1938, the Campeonato de Portugal was renamed the Taca de Portugal, and the Primeira Liga became the recognised competition for deciding the national champions. Porto won the first edition of the Primeira Liga, and they’ve won 30 titles in their history. Meanwhile, Benfica are the most successful Primeira Liga club, with 38 championships, while Sporting CP have 20. Only 2 other clubs have ever won the championship, with 1 win for both Belenenses and Boavista.

Format & Schedule of Liga Portugal

The Portuguese league shares its format with other European football leagues, including the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A. It features 18 teams, all of which play a home and away match against each other opponent in the league. Teams earn 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

Teams are ranked in the league table based on the points won, with the most successful team at the end of the season crowned champion. The top 4 positions can qualify for European competitions, while the bottom 2 teams are related to the Liga Portugal 2 next season. The side in 16th place plays a relegation play-off with the third-placed team from Liga Portugal 2, with the winner playing in the Primeira Liga the following season.
