When does the Primeira Liga begin?
The Portuguese top-flight kicks off on August 09 with the clash between Portimonense and Belenenses.
Who are the current champions?
Benfica will be defending the title in the 2019-20 season, following their impressive run that saw them leapfrog Porto in the last weeks of the 2018-19 campaign. Benfica won their 37th Primeira Liga title after winning 28 of their 34 matches, including nine out of their last ten games.
The Portuguese Eagles will have to fight Porto and Sporting, just as they usually do. Out of the 86 previous Primeira Liga seasons played, these three teams have claimed 84 titles, which makes the notion of watching another team outside this elite group almost impossible.
