The fixtures have been released for the 2023/24 Primeira Liga season.

The new season sees a new sponsor for Portugal’s top flight, with the league’s official name now the LIGA PORTUGAL Betclick. 

Two second-half goals saw Porto beat Braga 2-0 at Jamor to lift the 2022/23 Portuguese Cup in a dominant display by the Dragons.

In a surprisingly one-sided final, Sérgio Conceição’s team were the far superior team from start to finish, creating chances throughout, while Braga barely troubled Porto goalkeeper Cláudio Ramos.

Porto retain the Cup as they lifted the trophy for the 19th time in their history. 

Another memorable Portuguese league campaign has come to a close, with the Bwin Liga winners decided only on the final weekend of the season.

Benfica won their first title in four years, Braga recorded their best ever points total, and strong campaigns in Europe by the traditional Big Three makes choosing the best Primeira Liga XI a difficult task, even before we consider worthy candidates from other teams. 

Arouca, Chaves and Casa Pia were hugely impressive in arguably seasons of overachievement, while the likes of Vitória and Famalicão also hit noteworthy purple patches in 2022/23.

PortuGOAL’s team of writers have each compiled their team of the season.

The image to the right contains the players that were selected in at least four of the six teams chosen by Matthew Marshall, Albert Carter-Phillips, Barney Carter-Phillips, Jamie Farr, Tom Kundert and Patrick Ribeiro. To find out who made the cut in each individual team and why, read on… 

Liga Bwin 2022/23 came to its conclusion this weekend with many key positions decided, but still the round of matches provided plenty to be keeping an eye out for during the closing of the curtain on another memorable season in Portugal.

Arouca’s magnificent campaign ended superbly as they leapfrogged Vitória Guimarães to finish in 5th place. The relegation places had already been decided, with recent escapees from the predicament Estoril and Gil Vicente amongst those recording comfortable victories.

Elsewhere the small matter of the destiny of the league title remained in the balance, but leaders Benfica never really looked like giving up their premiership with a comprehensive defeat of Santa Clara being enough to secure the champions honours. Their manager Roger Schmidt has been a much-needed breath of fresh air at the club, and the German is in focus as our final PortuGOAL Figure of the Week of the campaign.
