The Liga Portugal (English: Portugal League), also known by its acronym LP, is a league that manages professional football club competitions in Portugal. It was founded in 1978 as Liga Portuguesa dos Clubes de Futebol Profissional and works as an autonomous entity under the authority of the Portuguese Football Federation. In 1991, it changed its name to Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional and in the year 2020, rebranded as Liga Portugal.
