Portugal Campeonato Nacional

The Campeonato de Portugal (Portuguese for "Championship of Portugal") is the fourth level of the Portuguese football league system. Together with the third-tier Liga 3, it is organized by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF).

The Campeonato de Portugal was introduced in 2013 as the new third-level championship, under the name Campeonato Nacional de Seniores (Seniors National Championship), replacing both the Segunda Divisão and Terceira Divisão (former third and fourth divisions, respectively). On 22 October 2015, it adopted its current naming. With the creation of the Liga 3 as the new third division from the 2021–22 season, the Campeonato de Portugal was demoted one level.

The "Portugal Campeonato Nacional," often referred to simply as the Primeira Liga, is the top professional football league in Portugal. Established in 1934, this prestigious tournament showcases the country's elite clubs, competing for the coveted title of national champion.

The league features a format where 18 teams battle it out over a season that typically runs from August to May, with each team playing 34 matches—home and away against every other team. The tournament is known for its passionate fan base, rich history, and the development of world-class talent, making it a significant part of Portuguese culture.
