The League has released the schedules for rounds 13 and 14, and Benfica's home match against SC Braga is the headline fixture. It will kick off at 20:15 on 14 December, on a weekend that now has both rounds of the December programme mapped out.
December kick-off times now confirmed
The 13th and 14th rounds will be played on the first two weekends of December. Round 13 includes Nacional-Benfica at 15:30 on 5 December and Santa Clara-FC Porto at 18:00 on the same day, while Sporting-Marítimo is scheduled for 20:15 on 4 December 2026.
FC Porto-Estrela da Amadora follows at 20:30 on 13 December 2026, before round 14 closes with SL Benfica-SC Braga on 14 December 2026. The release gives supporters the full shape of the month, with Benfica and Braga set to meet late on the Sunday night slot rather than in an earlier kick-off.
The other fixtures in the release
There is a wider run of fixtures across the two weekends, but Benfica's home date with Braga is the one that stands out most. Benfica go into that meeting second in the Primeira Liga with 22 points from 9 matches, while SC Braga are eighth with 14 points from 10 games.
That gap is part of the context, not the reason for the schedule itself. The league has simply fixed the times, and the month now has a clear set of markers for Benfica, Braga and the other clubs involved.
The next notable date in the list is 14 December, when Benfica host Braga at 20:15.
