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) 1️⃣ was the 89th season of the Primeira Liga, the top professional league for Portuguese association football clubs, and the second 1️⃣ season under the current Liga Portugal title. This was the sixth Primeira Liga season to use video assistant referee (VAR).
FC 1️⃣ Porto were the defending champions, having won their 30th title at the previous season. Rio Ave, Casa Pia and Chaves 1️⃣ joined as the promoted clubs from the 2024–22 Liga Portugal 2 replacing Belenenses SAD, Tondela and Moreirense, which were relegated 1️⃣ to 2024–23 Liga Portugal 2.
As the 2024 FIFA World Cup was held between 20 November and 18 December 2024 due 1️⃣ to the climatic conditions of the host country Qatar, the league featured an extended pause during the season. As national 1️⃣ team players had to be released by their clubs on 14 November 2024, the last Primeira Liga matchday before the 1️⃣ break was scheduled for 13 November (matchday 13). The league resumed nine weeks later on 28 December.[3]
Benfica secured a record 1️⃣ 38th league title after beating Santa Clara 3–0 on matchday 34.
