89th season of top-tier Portuguese football
Football league season
The 2024–24 Liga Portugal (also known as Liga Portugal Betclic[1] 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).
Since 😗 Portugal dropped from sixth to seventh place in the UEFA association coefficient rankings at the end of 2024–23 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 Taca 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.[2][3]
