The 2022–23 Primeira Liga (also known as Liga Portugal Bwin[1] for sponsorship reasons) is the 89th season of the Primeira Liga, the top professional league for Portuguese association football clubs, and the second season under the current Liga Portugal title. This is the sixth Primeira Liga season to use video assistant referee (VAR).
Porto are the defending champions, having won their 30th Primeira Liga at the previous season. Rio Ave, Casa Pia and Chaves joined as the promoted clubs from the 2021–22 Liga Portugal 2 replacing Moreirense, Tondela and B–SAD, which were relegated to 2022–23 Liga Portugal 2.
As the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held between 20 November and 18 December 2022 due to the climatic conditions of the host country Qatar, the league will feature an extended pause during the season. As national team players must be released by their clubs on 14 November 2022, the last Primeira Liga matchday before the break is scheduled for 13 November (matchday 13). The league will resume nine weeks later on 28 December.[2]
