The Primeira Liga, often known outside of Portugal as the Portuguese Liga, is the top professional football division of the Portuguese football league system. The Liga NOS, as it is sometimes known, is contested by 18 clubs each season. Unlike many other European leagues, there is no relegation or promotion from the Primeira Liga to a lower division. The champion and runner-up of the season qualify for the following season's UEFA Champions League (group stage), while the teams placed 3rd to 5th enter the UEFA Europa League (group stage). The bottom three teams of the league get relegated to the LigaPro.

The league format consists of playing each club twice, one home and one away. It is contested from August to May, with a third-place playoff and relegation playoff occurring at the end of each season. The Liga NOS is considered from one of the most competitive and challenging leagues in the world, with several high-level clubs competing for the championship title.
