The 2026/2027 season is beginning for the teams participating in the Liga Portugal.

Once again, we're opening a new thread to follow this championship, the respective teams, and the competitions they're participating in.

Throughout the season, I will try to provide more information than just the schedule and league table. I will try to give more details about the clubs and their history, so you can learn a little more about football in Portugal.

I look forward to your participation.

The Teams - Liga Portugal 2026/2027

Rio Ave [info]	Santa Clara [info]	Sporting Braga [info]	Benfica [info]	Sporting [info]	Vitória Guimarães [info]

I'm glad to see Maritimo return to the top division and it's good that Nacional managed to avoid relegation which means we're looking forward to a wonderful Madeira derby. I also hope that Benfica will play a more attacking and entertaining style in the new season after Mourinho's departure.

Will we see changes in the top 3 or 4 this season? I thought Benfica had a very strong start to the season, despite losing to Flamengo from Brazil in a friendly. They managed to score against a big opponent with a depleted squad. It will be interesting to assess them when the whole team is ready.

It'll be a pleasure to spend another season here with you all guys

There are 23 days left until the league starts again

The only thing we know for sure is that the champion will be Porto, Sporting, or Benfica, hehehe Grin

Or will a miracle happen this time?

That's almost the only certainty we can have in this competition.

There will be surprises, but not in the potential winner. Usually, a smaller team will stand out; it remains to be seen which one it will be.

As I said before, Benfica played well against Flamengo, which is one of the great teams in Brazil. And they played with a squad that was, in a way, a reserve team. I don't think it's a matter of superiority, but you can already see that they are well prepared for the season.

I remember vividly how tense last season was in Liga Portugal.

FC Porto won the league on matchday 32 by defeating Alverca. Sporting CP won with two more games to spare. It was their 31st league title.

I believe FC Porto and Sporting CP will go for the league title this season. Porto made Jakub Kiwior's loan permanent. I think they have a good defense to contend for the title again.
