Primeira Liga

34 games, no playoff

18 clubs play home and away — 34 matches each. Whoever tops the 34-game table is champion of Portugal. There’s no final.

European places

The top 2 qualify for the Champions League, 3rd for the Europa League and 4th for the Conference League — some of Europe’s richest prizes.

Relegation

The bottom two clubs drop to the second division, replaced by two teams coming up. Every point in the table matters.
