Teams


A total of 18 teams contest the league, including 13 sides from the 2020–21 season, 3 teams relegated from the 2020–21 Primeira Liga and 2 promoted from the 2020–21 Campeonato de Portugal.

Farense and Nacional were relegated to 2021–22 Liga Portugal 2 after finishing in 17th and 18th placed teams in 2020–21 Primeira Liga.

Rio Ave were relegated after finishing in 16th place in 2020–21 Primeira Liga and losing the Relegation play-offs against Arouca.

Trofense (promoted after a six-year absence) and Estrela da Amadora (promoted for the first time) were promoted from the 2020–21 Campeonato de Portugal, replacing Oliveirense and Cova da Piedade.

Cova da Piedade failed to produce valid licensing documentation to compete in the 2021–22 season of the Liga Portugal 2, so they have been relegated by the Portuguese Football Professional League to the Liga 3. As a result, Vilafranquense, that finished in 17th place in the 2020–21 Liga Portugal 2 were invited to play in the second tier for the 2021–22 season.
