Description

The Primeira Liga (Portuguese pronunciation: ), also known as Liga Portugal Betclic for sponsorship reasons, is a professional association football league in Portugal and the highest level of the Portuguese football league system. Organised and supervised by the Liga Portugal, it has been contested by 18 teams since the 2014–15 season, with the three lowest-placed teams relegated to the Liga Portugal 2 and replaced by the top-three non-reserve teams from this division.

Founded in 1934 as Campeonato da Liga da Primeira Divisão, it was named Campeonato Nacional da Primeira Divisão from 1938 until 1999, when it was changed to its current naming. Over 70 teams have competed in the Primeira Liga, but only five have been crowned champions. Among them, the "Big Three" teams—Benfica (38 wins), Porto (31) and Sporting CP (21)—have won all but two Primeira Liga titles; the other winners are Belenenses (1945–46) and Boavista (2000–01).

The Primeira Liga reached a world ranking of fourth according to IFFHS's 2011 ranking.

In January 2025, Liga Portugal launched a redesign of its official digital platforms, developed in collaboration with the Portuguese technology company Magycal. The update introduced club-specific personalised experiences, real-time goal notifications and match updates, live statistics, line-ups, video highlights, and access to exclusive match replays, aiming to enhance fan engagement and modernise the league's digital ecosystem.
