Notes
[edit]- ^ Before the official establishment of the Primeira Liga as the primary national championship, in the 1938–39 season, the Taça de Portugal was called Campeonato de Portugal (English: Championship of Portugal) and its winners were declared the national champions (although the winners of the Championship of Portugal no longer count as Portuguese football champions).
- ^ Only goals scored in the regional championship or Primeira Liga are considered.
- ^ Sporting CP had to play a two-legged final against Benfica as both finished the Regional at the top two positions with the same number of points. Sporting CP won both legs, 1–0 away (Campo de Benfica) and 2–1 at home (Estádio do Campo Grande). Both final matches are included on the stats.
- ^ Sporting CP had to play a match after the end of the second stage at the Estádio do Campo Grande against Belenenses to determine the second finalist as both finished the second stage of the Regional at the middle two positions with the same number of points. Sporting CP won 1–0. This match is included on the stats.
- ^ Sporting CP had to play a final match at an unknown ground against Benfica as both finished the Regional at the top two positions with the same number of points. Sporting CP won 3–0. The final match is included on the stats.
- ^ Starting this season, Regional wins became worth 3 points, ties became worth 2 points and defeats became worth 1 point; instead of the traditional 2/1/0 points. If a team failed to show up at any given match, that team would not get any point.
- ^ Sporting CP had to play a final match at an unknown ground against Belenenses as both finished the Regional at the top two positions with the same number of points. However, Sporting CP failed to show up for the final, getting 0 points as a consequence, and Belenenses won the Regional. The final match is included on the stats, as a third defeat.
- ^ Sporting CP had to play a final round-robin tournament against Benfica and Belenenses as all three finished the Regional at the top three positions with the same number of points. Sporting CP won both matches and got the first place. Both Sporting CP matches are included on the stats.
- ^ Sporting CP had to play a final match at the Campo das Salésias against Benfica as both finished the Regional at the top two positions with the same number of points. Sporting CP won 4–1. The final match is included on the stats.
- ^ After four experimental editions, the Primeira Liga was officially established as a national league competition with the purpose of determining the national champions, thus replacing the Campeonato de Portugal, which was converted into the Taça de Portugal, the top domestic cup competition.
- ^ The Cup was not organized in the 1946–47 season due to overscheduling caused by the major changes of the football league system.
- ^ The Cup was not organized in the 1949–50 season because the Estádio Nacional was the host venue for the Latin Cup.
- ^ Sporting CP did not show up for the second leg of the quarter-final tie with Lusitano Évora after a 2–2 draw at home on the first leg, and forfeited the competition in order to focus on the Latin Cup participation days later. Lusitano Évora advanced automatically to the semi-finals.
- ^ Starting this season, league wins became worth 3 points, instead of the traditional 2 points.
