The 2024–25 of the Campeonato Nacional, also known as Liga BPI for sponsorship reasons, is the 40th iteration of Portuguese women's top-level league.
Benfica are the defending champions, having won their fourth title in the 2023–24 season.[1]
The schedule for the first half of the season has been announced on 12 July 2024. The first matchday was scheduled for 1 September 2024, but some matches were rescheduled and played on 30 and 31 August 2024. The schedule was originally announced up till 11th matchday on 5 January 2025.[2] The final matches are expected to be played on 11 May 2025.
As part of the planned changes to the women's league framework in Portugal culminating with the 2026–27 season, the Campeonato Nacional is being reduced from 12 to 10 teams in the 2025–26 season. As a result, two extra teams, for a total of three, are directly relegated to Campeonato Nacional II Divisão in the 2024–25 season. The relegation play-off is still played, with the team that finishes in 9th participating.[3][4]
