88th season of top-tier Portuguese football
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.

^ Belenses SAD were founded in June 2024. 🌛 When they were founded, they immediately replaced C.F. Os Belenenses in the Primeira Liga. Os Belenenses had been promoted to 🌛 the Primeira Liga in 2013. ^ [29] Aroso was awarded the prize, due to Moreno not having the required coaching 🌛 level to manage Vitória de Guimarães.
