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.
