Portuguese football champion
This is a list of the winners of the Portuguese football championships .
Campeonato de Portugal
This is the championship played in the cup system from 1921–1938; the winner had the title: "Campeão de Portugal" (= Master of Portugal). On their official websites, both the Portuguese Football Association ( Federação Portuguesa de Futebol - FPF) and the clubs ( Benfica Lisbon , Sporting Lisbon , FC Porto ) list this championship as a separate category (alongside the Campeonato Nacional da I Divisão and the Taça de Portugal , the cup competition since 1938/39).

While the Federação Portuguesa de Futebol (FPF) lists these titles in a separate list, i.e. not officially evaluating them, the two clubs add them to their national championship titles.
