Founded in 1934 as Campeonato da Liga da Primeira Divisão, it was named Campeonato Nacional da Primeira Divisão from 1938 until 1999, when it was changed to its current naming. Over 70 teams have competed in the Primeira Liga, but only five have been crowned champions. Among them, the "Big Three" teams – Benfica (38 wins), Porto (30) and Sporting CP (21) – have won all but two Primeira Liga titles; the other winners are Belenenses (1945–46) and Boavista (2000–01).^[2]

The Primeira Liga reached a world ranking of fourth according to IFFHS's 2011 ranking.^[3]
