Alert, Benfica! Liga Portugal unveils changes ahead of the Clássico | OneFootball

The date and time for the last Clássico of the 2026/27 season are already known. According to information released by Liga Portugal, Benfica and Porto will face each other for the last time next Sunday, March 8, at Estádio da Luz, in a match counting for the 25th round of the championship.

In the same press release, the organization responsible for the national championship also announced the dates for the remaining matches of the round, including the other big game of the round, between Sporting and Braga, with the Lions traveling to Pedreira.

As for the clashes between the Eagles and the Dragons, this will be the third duel between the Portuguese rivals this season. Previously, Benfica had already traveled twice to the Dragão: once for Liga Portugal Betclic, on October 5 (a 1-1 draw), and on January 14, in the Portuguese Cup (a 1-0 victory for the blue and whites).

The Clássico is therefore scheduled for March 8, a Sunday, with kickoff set for 6:00 p.m. One day earlier, on March 7, Sporting will travel to Minho to face Braga, the fourth-placed team in the championship. The match between the Arsenalistas and the Alvalade side will also start at 6:00 p.m.

It should be noted that Benfica is now fully focused on the championship, after being eliminated from the Champions League, having lost to Real Madrid (2-1). Before hosting Porto in the much-anticipated Clássico, the Eagles, led by José Mourinho, will travel to Barcelos to visit Gil Vicente.
