With all matches of Primeira Liga's 34th round completed, Sporting CP defeated Vitória de Guimarães 1-0, while Benfica lost 0-1 away to Braga. As a result, Sporting CP claimed this season's Primeira Liga title with a 2-point advantage! This victory secures their place in next season's UEFA Champions League group stage.


This marks Sporting CP's second consecutive league title and their 21st overall in club history. The club previously achieved four consecutive titles in the 1950s. At the end of this season, Sporting CP, Benfica, and Porto finished in the same order as last year—first, second, and third, respectively.


In Primeira Liga, only the champions qualify directly for the Champions League group stage, while the runners-up must enter the third qualifying round. Therefore, winning the league is the only way to guarantee a spot in the main tournament.


This season in the Champions League, Sporting CP ranked 23rd in the league phase and were eliminated in the knockout playoffs, losing 0-3 on aggregate to Borussia Dortmund, failing to advance to the Round of 16.
