The 2023–24 Liga 3 is the third season of Portuguese football's third-tier league, following the reorganization which saw the Campeonato de Portugal moving one level down in the Portuguese football league system. First season with a total of 20 teams compete in this division, after the reduction in the previous edition.[1]

Format

[edit]

This competition consists of a first stage with all the teams then proceed to a promotion or relegation series depending on their performance.[2]

Teams

[edit]

A total of 20 teams contested the league, including 3 teams relegated from the 2022–23 Liga Portugal 2, 13 teams that have been in 2022–23 Liga 3 and 4 teams promoted from the 2022–23 Campeonato de Portugal.

B-SAD sports society's licence was relocated to Cova da Piedade,[3] as a result of a fusion. On 13 July 2023, the Portuguese Football Federation informed that Cova da Piedade failed to obtain a licence to play in Liga 3, being replaced by the best placed team in 2022–23 Campeonato de Portugal that wasn't promoted: Pêro Pinheiro.[4]
