The 2010–11 Primeira Liga season (also known as Liga Zon Sagres due to sponsorship reasons) is the 77th season of top-tier football in Portugal. A total of 16 teams will contest the league, 14 of which already contested in the 2009–10 and two of which were promoted from the Liga de Honra. Sport Lisboa e Benfica are the defending champions. The official ball is the Adidas Jabulani.
Teams
Belenenses and Leixões were relegated at the end of the 2009–10 season after finishing in the bottom two places of the table. Belenenses ended an eleven-year spell at the highest level of Portuguese football,[1] while Leixões returned to the Liga de Honra after three years.[2]
The two relegated teams were replaced by Liga de Honra champions Beira-Mar and runners-up Portimonense. Beira-Mar returned to the top-level league after five years of absence,[3] and Portimonense made their first appearance in their league since being relegated at the end of the 1989–90 season.[4]
