List of football clubs in Portugal

This is a list of association football clubs based in Portugal, sorted by league and division within the Portuguese football league system, as of the 2025–26 season. A total of 112 teams compete in the top four tiers of the Portuguese football pyramid, divided as follows:

• Liga Portugal (top tier with 18 teams, fully professional)
• Liga Portugal 2 (second tier with 18 teams, fully professional)
• Liga 3 (third tier with 20 teams into two groups of 10 teams, semi-professional)
• Campeonato de Portugal (fourth tier with 56 teams into four groups of 14 teams, amateur)

The Portuguese football leagues are divided into divisions (divisões, singular – divisão). The top teams play in the Liga Portugal, named Liga Portugal Betclic for sponsorship reasons. The second teams play in the Liga Portugal 2, named Liga Portugal 2 Meu Super for sponsorship reasons. In each division, with rare exceptions, a team plays all other teams twice, once at home and once away. One can divide the competitions in professional and non-professional.

The Portuguese league and federation teams compete in Europe under UEFA, most notably in the UEFA Champions League, but also in the UEFA Cup, in the extinct Cup Winners' Cup and sometimes in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, European Super Cup and the extinct UEFA/Conmebol Intercontinental Cup (Toyota Cup). They can also compete in the FIFA Club World Cup, although until today no Portuguese team reached this recent competition. The teams also compete in a domestic cup competition each year, called Cup of Portugal (Taça de Portugal) and the winners play against the champions in the SuperCup Cândido de Oliveira.
