Sporting in League Cup Group B with Vitória Guimarães and more | OneFootball

Sporting already know the path they will have to take in the group stage of the 2026/27 Women’s League Cup. The Lionesses were placed in Group B, where they will face Rio Ave, Valadares Gaia, Vitória de Guimarães and Marítimo, in a competition that will have five matchdays.

The side coached by Micael Sequeira, however, will not go into action in the first round, as they have a bye. As such, the Alvalade club will only make their debut in the competition at the beginning of November, when they host Rio Ave on matchday two.

The Lionesses’ first match - who won their last game - is currently scheduled for 8 November, at home. Then, on 10 January 2027, the Sporting side travel to face Valadares Gaia, before returning to their own stadium to take on Vitória on 20 January.

The group-stage campaign ends on 14 February 2027, with a trip to Madeira to face Marítimo. The dates announced by the competition are still provisional and may be changed in the coming weeks.

At the end of this stage, only the top two teams in each group are guaranteed a place in the semi-finals. Sporting will therefore have four matches to secure one of the spots that gives access to the next round, after sitting out the opening matchday.
