Benfica to learn league fixtures on Thursday as season awards follow | OneFootball

Liga Portugal announced on Tuesday that the draw for the professional championships will take place on Thursday at 19:00 at Arena Liga Portugal in Porto. The Liga Portugal Awards ceremony will follow at 20:00.

The draw will set the official calendar for the professional competitions, including the Liga Portugal Betclic and Liga Portugal 2. All matchdays for the season will be revealed, though dates and kick-off times may later shift due to television scheduling and European commitments.

For Benfica, it is a key waypoint, revealing the sequence of league opponents and the split between home and away fixtures. That information is central to planning the campaign under head coach Marco Silva.

The awards gala recognises the season’s leading performers across several categories, from players and coaches to referees and other figures in Portuguese football. It also serves as an official celebration of last season, with clubs such as Benfica often prominent among nominees and winners.

Together, the draw and gala mark the official start of the new professional season in Portugal. Benfica continue preparations with the aim of challenging for the major domestic trophies and remaining competitive in Europe.
