The 2023–24 Liga Portugal 2 (also known as Liga Portugal SABSEG for sponsorship reasons) is the 34th season of Portuguese football's second-tier league and the fourth season under the current Liga Portugal 2 title. A total of 18 teams are competing in this division, including reserve sides from top-flight Liga Portugal teams.
A total of 18 teams contest the league. Marítimo, Paços de Ferreira and Santa Clara were relegated to 2023–24 Liga Portugal 2 after finishing in 16th, 17th and 18th placed teams in 2022–23 Primeira Liga.
União de Leiria, [1] Belenenses [2] (promoted after an eleven and ten years absence, respectively) and Länk Vilaverdense (promoted for the first time in history) were promoted from the 2022–23 Liga 3, replacing B-SAD, Trofense and Sp. Covilhã (were relegated after one, two and fifteen years in the second tier, respectively).
Vilafranquense SAD, due to disputes with the club, relocated its team to the stadium of Desportivo das Aves 1930. [3] However, it is not a fusion, as Aves will have no participation in the SAD or in running the team. [4] Vilafranquense's SAD will change its name to match the new location, and the club ( U.D. Vilafranquense) will form a new team in Lisbon's regional divisions.
