82nd season of top-tier Portuguese football
Football league season
The 2024–16 Primeira
Liga (also known as Liga NOS for sponsorship reasons) was 🎉 the 82nd season of the
Primeira Liga, the top professional league for Portuguese association football clubs.
The fixtures were determined 🎉 by draw on 4 July 2024.[3] The season began on 14 August
2024 and concluded on 15 May 2024.[4]
Benfica won 🎉 their third consecutive and 35th
overall title, after beating Nacional 4–1 in their last match. They finished the league
with 🎉 a record 88 points in 34 matches (from 29 wins and one draw), two points more than
runners-up Sporting CP.[5]
Tondela 🎉 and União da Madeira entered the season as the two
promoted teams from the 2014–15 Segunda Liga. On the last 🎉 matchday, both teams were at
risk of returning to the second division, but the combination of their results dictated
União 🎉 da Madeira's relegation alongside Académica.[5]
Teams [ edit ]
For the second
consecutive season, the league was contested by a total of 🎉 18 teams, which included the
best 16 sides from the 2014–15 season and two promoted from the 2014–15 Segunda
Liga.
Tondela 🎉 made their debut in the top flight of Portuguese football, after winning
the 2014–15 Segunda Liga title. while runners-up União 🎉 da Madeira returned for the
first time since the 1994–95 season.[6] These two clubs replaced Gil Vicente, relegated
after four 🎉 seasons in the Primeira Liga, and Penafiel, who returned to the second
division one season after being promoted.
For the first 🎉 time since the 1990–91 season,
the autonomous region of Madeira was again represented at the highest level of
Portuguese football 🎉 with three teams: União da Madeira, Marítimo and Nacional, all set
in Funchal making the madeirense capital the second town 🎉 having three teams in Primeira
Liga after Lisbon.
