Since Portugal dropped from sixth to seventh place in the UEFA association coefficient rankings at the end of 2022–23 season, only the two best-ranked teams can qualify for the UEFA Champions League (the champions enter directly into the group stage, and the runners-up enter the third qualifying round). The Taça de Portugal winner qualified to the UEFA Europa League group stage while the third-placed team qualify to the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round. The fourth-placed team, meanwhile, qualify to the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round.[2][3]

Teams edit

Changes edit

Moreirense, Farense (after a one and two years absence, respectively), and Estrela da Amadora (promoted for the first time in history in its current form founded in 2020 or after a fourteen-year absence if counting the club that dissolved in 2011 due to bankruptcy) were promoted from the 2022–23 Liga Portugal 2, replacing Marítimo, Paços de Ferreira, and Santa Clara (relegated after thirty-eight, four, and five years on the top flight, respectively).

This season marks the first season of top-flight Portuguese football since the 1984-85 season where no teams from the Azores islands or Madeira have taken part.
