Portugal: Latest news, Primeira Liga results and travel tips

Want quick updates on what's happening in Portugal? You’re in the right place. We cover the stuff locals care about and the stories visitors should know — from Primeira Liga results to travel and everyday life. For example, Rio Ave beat Moreirense 2-0 on April 13, 2025, a result that helped the club move up the table. That’s the kind of match report you’ll find here: concise, clear, and useful.

Top stories to watch

Football is big in Portugal. We track match results, player moves, and how those results change club standings. Expect short match recaps, injury updates, and what each result means for the title race or relegation fight. Outside football, we flag tourism trends that affect travellers — like rising demand across Europe — and what that could mean for prices and crowds in Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve.

Planning to visit? Here are practical things that matter right now: Portugal uses the euro, main airports are Lisbon (LIS), Porto (OPO) and Faro (FAO), and public transport between cities is reliable if you book trains or buses ahead. Summer sells out fast in popular coastal towns, so book accommodation early if you want reasonable prices.
